i thought this technique of "fooling people by paying them" only works in under developed third world countries with a gigantic gap between the upper class and middle/lower classes in society. it is kind of funny to see it in a supposedly advanced country like US. it would be interesting to know how much this has worked on Americans, and more importantly how long would it take to see the effects of it in their inflation and by how much. i have seen 20% increase in 1 year before...
