If employers are only willing to pay $50 a day but employees have to cover the cost of insurance, tools and transport, then congratulations, you have just destroyed the incentive to work.
Why would anyone get up at 5am, get home at 6pm, work in the sun all day in a dead end job for just barely enough to make ends meet when anyone can sit at home on welfare and watch Jerry Springer on their own terms AND BE BETTER OFF? What happened to a fair day's pay for a fair day's work? It's a simple economic decision, just like JMcC2008 above.
The system sucks all around, I hate government and I hate JMcC's pitiful thinking.
