Best Answer

The rich have greater influence on politicians because they either give greater support or deal greater damage to reelection campaigns.

The "1%" also control a massive amount of the airwaves, giving them great sway over public opinion as steered and reflected by the media.

The rich also are more likely to run for office themselves, because running for almost any office is an expensive affair.
