It seems to me that they are saying that politicians who are like this aren't doing it for nefarious reasons but because they want to stay in power and, in this case, they want their party to stay in power and the way to do it is to re-distribute wealth in what is really a vote buying effort. The second and third order effect happens to be poverty inducing.

At least, that was the way I read it.
