So where's the part where the politicians do sexual favors (and promise a fuckton of legislative favors) for plutocrats, oligarchs and lobbyists once they're in office?

The part that makes the US an oligarchy with extra steps, in which officials never change their vote in favor of popular opinion over elite opinion, not even once is not mentioned on this chart.

This would be a lot more effective with evidence.
