        You’re right, because bribing people to support you instead of someone else also paying them is a surefire way to lose a lot of money to little effect.

        They’re not exactly the most conscionable group, unlikely to act in a positive way just because someone flashes a few bills in front of their face. Likely they’d take his money, then do what they’ve always been doing anyways, cause that way they make twice as much to do it.
