Back in the old days African slaves had to give up 100% of what they produced. You're only 56.3% away from being on the same level as they were, minus the beatings and forced breeding of course. But you would still be punished severely if you didn't pay. Kind of crazy if you think about it like that.

Allowing slaves to become free range slaves who choose their own profession was the most brilliant move ever.
