[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't consider market rates predatory. 
Your clothes and refrigerator and everything else you use also reflect these rates, why should you be exempted from them? [/quote]

Are you kidding me? They aren't predatory? Tell that to the little children in China and Taiwan making the clothes you buy at Macy's for cents per hour. [/quote]

Write to your congressman about boycotting trade with China due to the lack of anti child labor laws there.  Or read The Capital and start a revolution.  No, wait, China is already communist...  But this has nothing to do with the nanny pay rates market.[/quote]

The point being that just because something is market rates doesn't mean it is right. In those countries child labor, or any labor for that matter, isn't valued and conditions and compensation aren't fair. Nanny wages are not as extreme of course, but it is another example of systematic undervaluing of labor. Parents will simultaneously speak to both the importance of care for their children, and why a nanny's skill set and labor have little value. It is incongruous at best. Just as people will pay crazy money for quality clothing but think nothing of the state of the workers that made the clothing. [/quote]
