Did you try it? Were you shocked? You got to admit it is clever.

Yeah, I tried it. Can't say I was shocked. I think most of us here on FR work hard, are fairly successful, and prefer capitalism over any alternative that's been tried.

Now if we were on welfare, or dropped out of high school to work at McDonalds, or spent all our time spiking trees or burning down mink farms then we would indeed be shocked. We might even wish we had stayed in school to participate in the rewards.
