Good point. But are you saying $35/hr is excessive?

The good developers/designers I know charge way more than that. And people are willing to pay for predictable results.

I don't see why a qualified programmer from another country couldn't charge $35 either, and I don't see why people should not be able to set their own prices based on that quality.

I'm sure the market will find a way to accommodate the price/quality relationship without adding restrictions like this.

This IS the market working.
