Risk gets factored in Geoist. Use a less biased analogy. If a person takes a contract job overseas in Iraq, they may know every well, as warned in writing, that there is a significant chance of death or injury, and that they may cause irreparable harm to their family and at the very least miss out on years with the family. They weigh the cost, vs the risk, and they make the call. Now let's say they did really well that year, $400K for a contract job that might pay $80K in the U.S. If we punished them for that after the fact, that would have let them take all the risk, and you'd get to reap the reward. If you told them before they went that they'd have to fork over much of it to you, they simply would not have gone. You'd have essentially, artificially, increased the price for anyone trying to get labor to Iraq, and you'd have cheated that individual out of a great paying job. Of course, you'd probably come in with a big contract firm with a government deal and provide it all, effectively having shut out all individuals from competing with you...that would be typical big government corruption yes?
