Want to know why any elected official takes any action?
Look at the Politician's Hierarchy of Needs (TM).
If you ask "why" about anything elected officials do, look first at where they are on the "Politician's Hierarchy of Needs (TM)"

Going up in order of need
Get Elected
Stay Elected
Get Power
Keep Power
Increase Power

These needs drive political decisions; the answer to any "why" depends on where the individual politician is on this scale. Any decision is aimed at moving up the illustrated scale to achieve political self-actualization.

Why do politicians take money?
Could be step 1 or 2 or maybe 3, 4 or 5 (help others get elected)

Why support or oppose legislation?
Likely 3, 4 or 5 (curry favor with leadership; occasionally because it's the right thing to do)
