[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 2833940, member: 7966"] When people do work for me, I pay $15-20 an hour. When they bring their own tools and infrastructure, I pay them $30. Deduction: The $10/hr differential pays for his/her tools, consumables (gas, oil), and a reasonable opportunity cost. Opportunity cost = Investors can make profits of a reasonable amount. So, in your case, workers show up and go to work and get paid $10 and the other $10 pays for infrastructure (building, sorting belts, package car, etc.), upkeep of the infrastructure, consumables, and an opportunity cost. I agree $10 an hour is not reasonable ... I even pay illegal Mexicans $20 - $30 / hour. Actually, I don't know but they are short, olive skin and speak Spanish. [/QUOTE]
