I'm with you. It shouldn't be illegal to ask someone to work 60hrs/week. Provided you inform them that this is desired of them UP FRONT during the hiring process. People should be free to work and hire based on their own situations. I would also recommend paying about 1.75X "market rate" (which assumes the 40 hour week) to attract candidates worth hiring. Overtime is as overtime does.
