I know I wouldn't.

There's nothing I can say to the guys at Cantor Fitzgerald to convince them that they need to stop using their money to influence the political process.

I firmly believe that money in politics is the single biggest corrupting influence at work in our process right now. There are other forces at work, but getting rid of that force would help substantially.
