The contractor has to take your experience into account when they hire you.
  If I contract work out to someone else, I am still ultimately responsible
for what ends up going to the client.

Let's say I hire you to work on a site, and my client is paying me $100 per
hour.   I might offer you $50 because of the following:

1. I don't know your work well yet
2. I don't know how much I'll have to rewrite in the end.
3. I need to spend time communicating with you and reviewing your work.

With all that in mind, I think you need to stick to your hourly rate.   The
only advice I'd give on rates is that you shouldn't take a lower rate just
to get the job in the hopes you'll get more work later.  You need to be the
one to offer volume discounts.... don't let them do that to you. :)
