Money, or what money buys, is the motivator.
It can be 'here's twenty, vote for me'.
It can be 'vote for me and I'll cut your taxes'.
It can be 'investment in your community comes with a vote for me'.
It can be 'you'll have more if you vote for me'.
Money (as representation of [finite] resource) is what drives the bus.
Look behind every 'ideal', every 'principle', every 'philosophy', every 'altruism', every 'anything' and you'll find moola (placeholder for 'resource' which when controlled, is just plain old nekkid POWER).
Stirner said sumthin' along the lines of 'you get along further with a handful of might than a handful of right'...you can substitute 'cash' for 'might' and it still holds true.
