Bribes for Behavior

This is really outrageous: "NYC Poor to Get Cash for Good Behavior (AP) - Poor residents will be rewarded for good behavior - like $300 for doing well on school tests, $150 for holding a job and $200 for visiting the doctor - under an experimental anti-poverty program that city officials detailed Monday." Those of us who grew up being taught good behavior, and being expected to do the right thing simply because it was the right thing, ought to sue for back wages. (e.g..holding a job for 25 years x $150...) NY Post columnis Andrea Peyser has some thoughts on this progam.
