It's when the Govt. steps in and sets the pay rate of housekeepers at $10 that we start smelling communism. If the housekeeper wanted more money for performing the same activity, then they should go work as a Janitor, which the market has determined is adding more value.

The housekeeper is only a housekeeper if they choose to be.
The housekeeper is 'only' earning $8/hour if they accept that rate.
P.S. just to check I'm not arguing crossed lines again, I take Janitor as a cleaner in a business or school, and a housekeeper as someone that comes in to private homes to be a cleaner?
