I see. I guess my title should have been the other way around -- "He who controls the money controls the power".
The thought that it will take a few elections to even have a hope of electing someone else makes this feel even more like a joke. The President can manipulate the taxes to benefit mostly his and his allies' towns, giving them more income and voting power. Seems like it would be difficult for anyone else to gain control.
