Wealthy politicians cannot offer fair representation to all the people This statement presents the opinion that a wealthy politician is unable to represent all people in fair manner considering his/her vested interests in the crafting and implementation of laws and policies. By default, a wealthy person would be more inclined to push for and safeguard his/her interests as well as those of their upper class counterparts at the expense of the middle class and lower class citizens. The wealthy politician, relative to a moderately well-off one, wields much power in determining the distribution of resources, taxes, and wealth. A good example that demonstrates the compromised position of a wealthy politician is when developing a stringent tax law in difficult economic conditions, such as recession. Such a politician is a high equity owner in a major multinational company that is bound to be affected negatively by increased taxations. The wealthy politician thus has far greater stake in the laws to enact or amend. He/she risks losing significant amounts of money, stature, popularity, or other psychological and material things by rendering support leading to the passage of the bill. Therefore, the wealthy politician will oppose the laws regardless of whether it is for the greater good of all people. A wealthy politician is more concerned about maintain the status quo compared to representing the interests of all. My personal take is that the degree to which a wealthy politician offers fair representation to all largely depends on the level of accountability that the people have on him/her. A highly educated and informed public is more likely to ensure that a leader is accountable regardless of his/her social standing. Where people and institutions follow the constitution and effect checks and balances a wealthy politician would be forced to provide fair representation to all people.
