Politicians pay plenty of attention to the people who bribe them well. In the U.S. there is now no ceiling on the maximum amount of bribery permitted, per the U.S. Supreme Court. China is also a free-market for bribes - government officials with mysteriously wealthy relatives. If you're asking when politicians will pay attention to you in particular, I'd suggest that will happen just as soon as you obtain a bigger bankroll. You can be fairly effective creating an environment where politicians will want to do as you would like them to do, if you're clever, but bribery alone can give most politicians the courage to act even when the environment is against them. Bribery of government officials and politicians is the business model Jack Welch made so successful at GE. He became famous and widely admired for doing so. This is a cartoon of William A. Clark purchasing a Senate Seat from Montana in 1899. The U.S. Senate actually refused to seat him! That certainly wouldn't happen today.
