Wealth Disparity in Political Influence

Wealth disparity in political influence refers to the unequal ability of individuals or groups with varying levels of wealth to affect political decisions and policies. Those with more money can contribute significantly to political campaigns, lobby for favorable laws, and have better access to policymakers. As a result, the interests of wealthier individuals or corporations often receive more attention than those of lower-income citizens. This can lead to policies that favor the rich, perpetuating inequality and undermining the democratic principle of equal representation. Ultimately, it challenges the idea that every citizen has the same say in governance.
