I didn't say the amount was changing I was simply echoing what I have seen some smaller chapters say about why they are going broke. The average idiot is sending trump money directly and he is using that to pay his legal bills (probably) which means the local politicians have less funds to work with.
I can see certain individuals being blacklisted but the big money knows how the game is played and knows that you have to work from the ground up and groom, train, etc the up and coming ones to keep whatever control you or your family has cultivated over the decades or centuries.
