A major part of American politics is that the non-wealthy can participate.

This means we need to pay people like campaign workers enough to live so they don't need to be independently wealthy.

This doesn't extend to every person. There are volunteers who just seek donations and such.

IMO you should get tax credits for hours volunteered for political campaigns.

You can't really pay rent or buy groceries with tax credits, certainly not upfront.
