[quote=Anonymous][quote]PP, we aren't talking about charitable pay, we're talking about a living wage. That is something I believe everyone is entitled to, nanny or not, and so it is an ethical failing to choose to pay someone less than they need to live and you can afford, simply because you can. That is what Walmart does, and I'm positive you're better than them.[/quote] Actually, charitable pay is exactly what you are talking about. You think a certain wage is a "living wage", because you think it is and that is the number you think is ethical. But, if the market doesn't value you at that rate, then, well, it's only your opinion and you should jump ship and get yourself a job where your skills are more valuable. You are not owed what you think a "living wage" is. You are owed only what someone is willing to pay. Why can't you understand this simple economic concept?[/quote]
