Steyer is actually a good example of a certain "type" in the fundraising world. You show up at his mansion, tell him and his friends that they are all the problem and wealth inequality is ruining America, and they all max out to you and thank you for your time. It's efficient!

The way to get campaign finance reform is to *fundraise like hell* for people who will push it through Congress once in power. I guarantee you that no one burns with a deeper hatred for the current campaign finance system than candidates for Federal office.

I suggest we ban fundraising altogether, and also make the candidates take the wow of poverty before running. Well, some fundraising is to be allowed, but limited only to food that can fill one begging bowl.
