Class envy gets you knowhere. And rich or not they only have one vote. The money is spent to influence you that's it. Are you afraid another viewpoint may change your mind?

Taking huge campaign donations and then doing favors is the point of the Republican Party. Bribes is the word not influence.

The majority of big individual donors give to Democrats, and it was Barack Obama who abandoned public financing of Presidential campaigns.
