Post Starbucks CEO: No more political donations

Seems Howard Schultz is angered over the shenanigans going on in DC, and is calling on all company CEOs to cut off political donations to any and all campaigns until politicians figure out the economy.

Will it work? Well, probably not -- just like politicians, everyday people (even CEOs) are often still ideologically influenced, and will probably still donate massive amounts of money to ridiculously bloated campaigns, but it's worth a try.
