Of course not all rich people have their hands in the pockets of politicians. There are many rich people who have little to no political interest, and there are also many who would rather donate to other causes. the whole "tax the rich - to our peril" is crazy, because it relies on trickle-down economics, [which just don't really work,] (http://mesharpe.metapress.com/app/home/contribution.asp?refe...) or at least not as well as its proponents would have you believe. rich people don't get rich by spending mony, they get rich by keeping the money they have and making it grow by smart investment.
