Political? not so much, it's just the basic economics for any freemium game, particularly one like DragonVale which doesn't supplement its in app purchase earnings with in game advertisements (thank goodness). Despite not needing to I make a $2 purchase of a Pile of Gems every month or so just as a way of supporting and thanking Backflip. I wasn't trying to pressure people to buy/spend gems but I also don't think that people should be made to feel bad for doing so if they can afford to and want to do so especially since it helps keep the game alive.
