    lol, of course there is a limit to the amount you can amass or a limit on those who are actually able to get the 1 for 1 deal from the government.

    I just can't remember it at the moment. :p

    I have a feeling the 1 for 1 deal only applies to those near the bottom of the social ladder though.

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Bottom of the social ladder... so as long as you were crass, boorish and otherwise socially inept you would get a bigger bonus.

    Because there is no way that any of us would assume that ones social position is absolutely the same as ones economic position.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Wow, another way for the gov't to just give money to people who haven't earned it, and this time with absolutely no controls on how it's spent!
