Perhaps you missed that it's a symbiotic relationship. They need each other. Politicians are not forced into the relationship. They enter it for the same reason the corporations do. The money and the power.
And that relationship is responsible for the centralization of government and corporate power. And that centralization of power correlates more thoroughly with the weakening of the middle class than the correlation of that to the rich getting richer.
It is the reason the middle class and the individual and local government have lost power and the central government and centralized business have become more powerful.
