No! Thats socialism, which I avoid like the plague!
How is that socialism? We're talking about a guy who pays every laborer the exact same wage, no matter how many hours they clock in.
And when it's pointed out that that's not exactly fair, he has a bitch-fit and complains "it's my money; I'll pay you as I see fit."
Never mind how self-defeating that guy is. Do you honestly think that he's ever going to find guys willing to put in a full day's work again, now that everybody knows that he'll pay the same amount for an hour's work?
At Safeway, I just got a raise to $16.35 an hour while the newbies are still hired in at $7.00.
But you're still getting paid by the hour. And if you work a whole day's work, and somebody else just fills in for an hour, you get paid for all 8 hours and he only gets paid for one.
This guy is paying by the day, and not pro-rating by the hour. That's pretty stupid, since the workers feel cheated and the employer is basically setting himself up for a labor shortage. He's going to have empty fields until the eleventh hour, when basically every worker in town is going to gather in the square, show up for an hour's work, and demand their denari.
We are smart enough to realize that not all employees should make $16.00+ an hour, but we also want to make sure that the wage is available for some of us.
There's nothing at all in the parable that suggests that he's rewarding experience and success. Instead, he's punishing hard work by cheating the men who showed up early in the morning for work, and rewarding laziness by paying the same amount to men who only worked an hour.
What do you think happens the next morning when he tries to round up the day's labor force? The square is empty until the eleventh hour, of course. Why would anybody work all day when they can work for an hour and get the exact same wage?
