unfair competition?

organized companies are taking over the market of freelancing.
and i saw a lot of offers were the prices are going down to $5.00 an hour.
In the states where i live We charge a minimum of $45.00.
so all those good jobs are going away...what I am going to do next...selling drugs or maybe make porn sites?
what can we do about it?
Should we organize and defend our turf?
i looked over the forum and i did not see any questions about ethics

Is there no more rules?,

aren't we in this together?
