Republicans in Congress view money as something to be dropped like crumbs from the table of corporate aristocrats in the form of job creation. Democrats in Congress say “No, you deserve more than crumbs! We’ll give you a cookie!” I think everyone should get to feast at the table.
“Influence” the outcome, yes. But they do not always “determine” the outcome. I’ve known many people who “did everything right” and the cards were still stacked against them.
