Our elementary school does yearbooks and t-shirts etc on a "suggested donation" basis. If people wnat to pay less or nothing, they can. We ask people to donate more than the suggested amount if they can, to cover the cost for those who want one but cannot afford ithe suggested donation. We never make a loss.

The (co-operative, non-profit) preschool switched from a set purchase price, no freebies to a pay-what-you-can policy and they sold more items and took more money in.

If you give people the freedom to choose not to pay, they rarely do -you take all they joy of "cheating" out of it and add an element of pride in honesty. imo.

Hmmm...sounds similar to this.......

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan popularized by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program. The phrase summarizes the idea that, under a communist system, every person shall produce to the best of their ability in accordance with their talent, and each person shall receive the fruits of this production in accordance with their need, irrespective of what they have produced. In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist society will produce; the idea is that there will be enough to satisfy everyone's needs

So.....???

Similarity is not the same as being the same. And even if it was, do you have a problem with it? Nobody is being forced to do anything they don't want to......
