Are they, really?

How did they end up not having enough cash on hand to cover minor emergencies, then? How are they going bankrupt over healthcare costs - even when insured through their job - while having to worry about not being able to take a day off?

Only highly skilled workers are paid more. Compare fast food workers and you'll see what I'm talking about.
