I don't think you can say it any better than that.
I would add that the politicians are very adept at disguising the extent of their own wealth so as to feign a distinction between themselves and those they castigate in order to win over the blue collar support. In other words, their first act of hypocrisy is comitted before they are even elected. Given that, its hard to imagine that they suddenly cease being hypocrits following their victory.
