The article referred to in the previous post refers to what it calls the "donor class." These are the wealthy contributors who fund the elections of members of Congress and are - presumably - able to influence what they focus on once in office. Otherwise they might lose those supporters.
I typed "donor class" in a search engine and here's what popped up:
- In America; The Donor Class.
- Ambassador Appointment Draws Ire Inside Democratic Donor Class.
- The Rise of the Political Donor Class.
- The Minimum Wage: Popular With the Public, But Not the Donor Class.
- Head of the Donor Class.
- The Rise of the Donor Class.
