Is it really that surprising? The employment game has been re-engineered to be a race to the bottom for employees. We take the minimum pay because we're afraid someone will take less. We take the minimum vacation because we're afraid someone will work more. As a result, we live month to month on consumer credit because we _can_ live something approaching a desirable lifestyle that reflects the amount of sacrifice we've made to get there. It's bullshit. Stop living on credit, stop using credit cards and ask for what you deserve.
