Pehaps your attitude could be called a classic conservative misunderstaning of reality. Despite whatever connotations you may apply, it is still reality. You can't have a job just because you want it. That's a ridiculous notion. The idea that single employees have much of any say in how they are compensated is ridiculous too. That's like saying that anyone can pay whatever price they want for something regardless of what's actually going on in the market.

My dad grew up in the rural south. He had low paying jobs and no opportunity - he moved us where there where opportunities. Would you do the same?

You didn't really answer my question. How would you stop someone from screwing you if that someone is pretty much the only game in town in terms of employment opportunities and you have more at stake than your pride?
