7. For that much money, it's family first and politics second.
If I had the opportunity to make sure that my wife and I would never have to worry about money again, I'd take it. I'd love to claim the opposite, but there isn't any point in lying to any of you or to myself.

Ironically, by "switching" in exchange for that much money, I'd be less passionate on views which I am closer to their side right now. For example, I am vehemently against illegal immigration (we're a nation of laws - it's supposed to be Republicans who break inconvenient ones, not us), largely because I can't find construction work where I live anymore and have had to take some shit jobs since. If I had that much money, I'd be less inclined to care about illegal aliens taking my jobs.

But would I switch for that much money? As a married man, yes. If I were single...I'm not sure.
