I agree. Bread and circuses. It's how to control a populace.

Noblesse Oblige justifies it.

The politicians see themselves as the nobles, obligated to care for the voters due to their privileged status, because we are foolish and silly and can't make decisions for ourselves. Therefore, they give us bread and circuses so they can go about their business without interference.
