some aspects of the political problems are definitely driven by voting blocs rather than money per se. For example, construction trade unions leverage generally block changes to simplify/de-cost the building code or the use of public money for pre-fab housing. Those are just concrete examples I'm aware of, theres probably similar dynamics in healthcare, government administration, environmental policy.
