Disperse the poor.

Good Lawyer
Because I believe that all non-evilness in lawyers should receive positive feedback, please send this one as much support as she needs.
Woman Promotes the Right to Go Topless
- An attorney crusades to change the law because it treats male and female sunbathers differently. A ruling in a Megan's Law case adds urgency.

Pay Poor People to Get Sterilized
The Government should give prize money to people to get themselves sterilized. No restrictions -- you can use the money to settle your bill at the crack dealer, or you can invest it. Put the person on a blacklist that they can't get a reversal for 5 years (this weeds out the idiots who will just blow the prize money.) If you take the money, insurers are forbidden from covering a reversal procedure, although you are free to pay cash. One time deal -- you can't do it twice.
Realistically, only really, really poor people or desperate people or financial idiots would see this as a good deal, and frankly we really don't need their genes floating around anyway.
Cost analysis: Calculate the average amount of money in government services saved if some poor person were to become neutered and/or spayed. Discount that by 50% and offer that as the payoff to poor person to get snipped.
I'd offer it to the everyone, though because even though some non-poor person might statistically output more tax donors than recipients, he doesn't need to be passing his genes along anyway.
Win-win.

Credit Card Offers
Phone Survey Fee
Whenever I get a phone survey, I ask, "Are you aware of the fee?"
"What fee?"
"There's a ten dollar fee to answer surveys, if you have a credit card, you can deposit into my paypal account."
"We don't pay fees for surveys."
"Bummer."
