Politicians, like most people, put themselves first. I mean, a person has to be able to afford food and shelter which is fair. Unfortunately, this means they will prioritize "donors" first before the actual people that voted for them and put them in office. It wouldn't suprise me if most people that attempt to enter a government place, do it for the money and connections rather than changing or fixing the issues plaguing the poor. Average citizens will have to compete with 20 to 50 dollar donations.
