Political Bosses and Machines were the backbone of the gilded age. They held down reformers for big business and improved the living conditions (not working conditions) of immigrants (all in exchange for votes of course), and then the cycle would repeat because of the massive influx of immigrants to America.
The bosses of the gilded age were usually corrupt and received payment from the robber barons. Some of these bosses were Boss Tweed and the political machine of Tammany Hall. The corruption extended to include some of the presidents.
