the competitors/candidates in a yacht race can never ever be poor...money is the single most important factor, then comes money and money in places 2 and 3 and then comes ability in a distant 4th place...a competitor with lots and lots of money can literally whip his dick out and urinate on the voters and they will love him for it...
the winner of the vote will get to have fun in the yacht and it will be payed for by the poor...he will race only for himself and his crew mates and will not split the prize with anybody but them...but the poor will be trippin' "this is our yacht and he is our captain"

not a bad analogy...

though I would correct you, that it's not just in the US, but any government in any country...
