Where are those people going to eat and live while they're working for $5/hour? Are we going to feed & house them dorm-style, or are they on their own? And while we're on the subject of indentured servants, how do we guarantee their healthcare? Humanity has a bad history of mistreating its slave labor, especially when it's only temporary slave labor.
Not that I'm exactly against the idea. As long as we're talking theoretical revolutions and not actual policy proposals, it could be workable. But it would be a lot harder than "line up and build bridges for $5, kiddies."
