So if someone invests $30, as that money is traded through the RMAH, after 30 transactions all that money belongs to Blizzard. Even better, those who can't pay will be able to sell to those who do, and that money they make will likely go back into RMAH purchases. Those who can't pay won't have to, and those who can pay will be able to dump as much money as they actually can into the game on a monthly basis rather than just being limited to that $15 a month payment. What most people are arguing right now is that for Diablo 3, with its ingenious RMAH system, and the significant fees they will be taking ($1.00 off of every RMAH transaction, and 15% of your money if you want to transfer it from your account to a PayPal account, of course you can keep the 15% if you want to use all that RMAH profit to purchase Blizzard products in which case they take 100% of it.) they have found a way to make more money than they ever would from simply monthly payments. Starcraft 2 recently came out and only required a one time payment, free per month, and it didn't even have something like Diablo 3's real money auction house (RMAH).

I'm not absolutely, 100% sure, as I have yet to see a blue post about it on the forums, but the general consensus amongst all players has been and continues to be that because Diablo 3 is not an MMORPG it will not be set up on a pay-per-month basis. Are you absolutely sure of this? Can you provide a link?
