Politicians are much lower down on the food chain: they have to at least appear to be taking a side.

The billionaire just buys every side.

I disagree here. They don't actually have to do that. Sure, politicians take all of the money, but they are the (relatively) few in power to actually legislate things into being. It's like a filter for billionaire money in a sense. Billionaires need the US congress in their purse in order to push legislation.

Because billionaires need congress to pass legislation in order to keep them from harm, congress is beholden to the billionaire class. They are one and the same in the epstein class.
