Except, Gruss is advocating the employer can offer as little as one penny a day. If no American wants to take it, then the employer can bring in anyone who will take that penny. Whatever the market will bear, with no restircitons on business at all.
So every employer will be able to set local wages to whatever market rates allow worldwide. And since most of the world cannot even fathom let alone demand our current standard of living, we are going to get priced out of every job. When a worker who is used to dirt floors, no running water, and being robbed and shot by their own government gets the chance to move to Bethesda, they are going to require almost nothing in return. If they can eek out a similar living here to what they had there, there will always be someone to replace the current crop of workers. Picture your neighborhood, Tim, being turned into a third world slum where every house becomes a boardinghouse where workers rent a 2x6 foot space for 6 hours a day. If you don't believe it, go to Montville and Norwich Connecticut, where many neighborhoods now contain nothing but house after house that house 30, 60, 100 illegal Chinese workers. And there is absolutely nothing the people in the area can do about it, since it is a federal matter.
