ELI5: Why do many politicians not make poverty a main priority?
gpt
Poor people don't vote very much. In the end, if your goal is to be elected, spending a lot of time helping people who aren't going to vote in the next election is not a good strategy. 

Poor people do not donate money to campaigns. If your goal is to fund your next election campaign, asking for money from the poor is not a good strategy.
