They work hard and have very little to show for it. They GOT an education, for what? They're always struggling, a trip to the hospital or auto breakdown facilitates disaster. Do you pay this or your utilities?
In effect, these people who are trying to do better than be a Walmart checker and are working very, very hard are not making bupkis for it!
