How much less are you willing to work for?

I'm willing to work for the most I can get.

Do I hear you signing up for a pay cut?

I'm a businessman. I take pay cuts all the time.

When you sic 'basic economics' on others do be aware that you aren't immune...

I'm not immune. And I can't "sic" knowledge on you. You either have it or not. And it doesn't change whether you do or not.

As do I.

Do you think that endless "pay cuts" is a desirable
outcome?

I don't pretend to know all, but I can see that a policy
of importing cheap labor/outsourcing jobs without regard
for consequences is going to be ruious for our society.

Folks who study in school, took the hard courses, got the
degree, worked hard, kept up with the changing technology
and got sacked by Carly solely because their job could be done less expensively in Bangalore aren't going to take
the Neutron Jack view when they lose their nest egg and home. They are going to feel cheated and sold out, and I can't say that I blame them. Pure economics mandates
certain outcomes which are anathema to well ordered, moral societies. I certainly hope our society is one of those.
