I agree.
Back in 1975, I was working making hay for $3 an hour...adjusted for inflation [see my post above for inflation calculator], that would be around $9.65 an hour today. So by offering $5 an hour, you're telling your help that you really don't appreciate them.
I was at a rally about a year ago where Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, AZ was the speaker. When one of the guests spoke during the question-and-answer session at the end and said that "white people won't work," Sheriff Joe took exception. He said, "You don't HAVE to hire illegals to get someone who'll work; White people definitely WILL work...once you pay them what the job is worth."
So if you can't find people who will work for you...maybe you're not paying what the job is worth. Or maybe they don't like the guy who's hiring. I know that, if I was a teenager or twentysomething again and had the chance to work for my friend Bob making hay once more, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. But there's a new "rural" subdivision where Bob's farm used to be, so those days are gone for me.
