If you put it on for $200, a whole shit load of people would buy it. This is supply vs. demand and it holds true for people's time as well. If the reward for being successful is greater than more people will be successful. Don't you think its a little bit fucked up that you earn $400,000 and keep $200,000 (80% of that 200,000 goes to social programs by the way). I'm sure thats enough to discourage some people.

You would get discouraged by having more than 5 times as much as the average american left after taxes?
And, you are leaving out something rather important. It's not about not having a playstation, but about not having anything to eat.
