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?

Small Beer Press (specifically Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet) does a goofier version (http://smallbeerpress.com/shopping/subscriptions/) of this. Co-opting some of those labels might help with the offputtingness people have mentioned above.

That's a very good example.
