> people who can influence aren't making merely 300k, and they certainly aren't caring much about the cost of their influence
I’ve seen billionaires quibble over ca. $25k tables. And $300k gives you enough to, outside tier 1 cities, access, if not be kingmaker on, state politics on the patrician track. The cartoon impression of American high politics is stupidly off, starting with how coördinated it presumes the system to be.
