A pricing scheme

Nathan proposed this to me as a pricing scheme for Drifter's Escape. Sadly, I've already done a lot of selling of the books at the present price point, but it's worthwhile to think about for future endeavors.

The pricing scheme is as such:
Two paypal buttons. One $10 + SH, one $20 + SH. The $10 button is labeled "reduced rate for poor people." The $20 button is labeled "standard rate for middle class and wealthy people."

So, I'll ask you: What are your thoughts on this? Why? Would this excite you or turn you off? Which button would you pick and why?

I know a bunch of small punk record labels that sell their stuff on a sliding scale. Like someone else mentioned, I'm not sure I'd like the specific labels, but if you stated the book's minimum and maximum price and explained your reasons for charging sliding scale (as most of them do), I would be pretty keen on it, and I would pay full price.
