yes. it's the same as saying 'everyone's equal but some are more equal than others.'
it presents the captive with the idea that they are of course free, but at a small price while blinding them to the fact that their need to pay is actually a load of bollocks.
either that, or its the beginning of a successful enterpeneur.
