Both of the parties in America are deeply coopted by moneyed interests; we explicitly allow rich people to bribe politicians. That being said, the republicans, and the right wing in general, are typically gonna be the guys getting money from rich people because they push for policies that benefit them. I don’t necessarily blame a moderate conservative for voting for a politician that pushes to remove child labor laws because they were given a bunch of money. I do wish, however, that they’d look at the broader tendencies by their party towards such things and take them into consideration when they decide to vote for them, not just brush it under the rug.
