Long live the Confederacy! That's all this is, aristocrats who believe in pay to play. There is no right to be part of civilized society, you must be useful, in which case you can pay to play. If you're not useful you can wither and die.
They lost the war, so now it's this neo-feudal free market applied to everything. The democratic free marketers should be bothered by this because they're going to take your system to its natural conclusion: the gangs of New York.
Voting is also becoming pay to play. You must pay $$ for a government issued photo ID that proves you're a citizen if you want to vote. And this can effectively be any amount of money, established by the necessary cost of production, using patented, proprietary technology owned by a corporation.
It's corporatocracy, kakistocracy, plutocracy, aristocracy - all in one.
