"Paying (kids) for good behavior is worth every penny" Uh, really?

[Lenona]

The following article is by a columnist who very much disagrees!

Only thing I wonder about is, why has the columnist, in past years,
made it sound as though kids are entitled to a no-strings allowance?
After all, if it's OK for poor parents to tell their kids they have to
work for all their money (AND do unpaid chores, I assume) why isn't it
OK for richer parents to do that?
