    I think there’s a word “paying into the budget in exchange for closer ties and access”.

    It starts with the letter M, I think.

      Yeah, market.

      Like a literal old fashioned market. You pay to put your stall out and in exchange you get customers in a well regulated and run place.

      Don’t like it? Don’t pay.
