> Government spending on the other hand, is mostly decided by poor people (majority of voters)
Government spending is decided by Congress and the President, who are not poor people. There is a convoluted selection process in which rich people (donors) select the pool of candidates from a group of rich people, and then they let poor people vote on which of the rich people selected by other rich people they would like to have make decisions for us.
On a practical matter it is clear poor people do not make decisions because poor people want things like universal health coverage, but we do not have that.
