Surely that is wrong. Getting money from the government is easier if you are rich.

I think you may be confusing "getting money from the government" and "taking money from the government."

See also: "Receiving contracts from the government for work that will not be completed."

Fair, I was more thinking in a way of "things that are trashy when you're poor and amazing when you're rich"
