It sounds like a form of plutocracy, wherein those with wealth have privileged access to just about anything. The underlying result: the upward social mobility of those without wealth would be stunted. This is what maintains that power structure. The wealthy stay wealthy, and the poor stay poor. Wealth should not dictate power and privilege on all levels of society, especially not with public money.
