The government has been doing this for quite some time. Shake down a business, fine them, guide fines into politically allied advocacy groups. Nothing spells crapitalism like the government telling corporations how to spend their money and corporations making sure those in government stay there.
The biggest example is likely Bank of America's mortgage fines being guided into political advocacy groups with a $2 credit for every $1 donated. Relief for actual victims only gets a $1 credit for every $1. Harder to be more corrupt than that.
