> Add in car payments, car insurance, health insurance, and food and you've probably got $100 to spare every month.

So... you put up with a difficult job (flipping burgers), you have no job security, no or limited health insurance, no career prospects... for a $1.200 by the end of the year.

No wonder no one wants to do any work anymore. They were basically wage-slaves.

Your reward for an entire year of miserable work is maybe being able to afford car maintenance and xmas gifts or a brief and cheap local holiday! Relax on holiday for a few days and then it's back to the grindstone for another 360 days.

Most people are wage slaves, they biggest difference between them is the quality and quantity of beads and trinkets they receive to sweeten the misery.
