stingy politics?

so I was thinking about a no pan handling law in my town. The homeless are not allowed to sign but they do anyone but mostly by interstate. so I see political dinner events 500 a plate and donations and drives and it seems like only rich can run for president and they panhandle for as much as they can, so they can tell others doing it to survive they cant. seems backwards to me. are we run by elite panhandlers? 🤔
