60. Reread my post:
I qualified it with both taking corporate cash and being tempted to sell out working class interests, not just taking any corporate cash alone. Just because a person does take corporate money does not mean that he would automatically vote against a measure that would curtail or interfere with corporate power. However, if said person relies relatively heavily upon corporate cash, he'd be less likely to vote against them than someone who goes without.

As a result, I'd rather not touch the issue at all and would instead advocate subsidizing political campaigns with taxpayer dollars. It'd get rid of the issue entirely instead of trying to subjectively decide how much corporate cash is too much.
