Even at like $15/hr rent+cheap car+insurance will take up almost the entirety of a paycheck. Gardening is a past time, not a legit source of food for a family that possibly lives in an apartment. You sound like someone who has a rich parent and you think they 100% earned that wealth because they are literally worth 50 other lives.

I really meant to say monthly income instead of paychecks.

I wouldn't say they're quite "victims" but "acquiescent partners". It's true that workers only work part of the day to sustain themselves, but the other part is to sustain and develop the economy. The boss uses part of the value generated by workers to account for stocks, which incentivize other people to commit trade with the firm and produce growth, which ends up accounting for the economy as a whole, which in turn ends up allowing the workers to live increasingly comfy lives (better refrigerators, cars, computers, network speeds, etc.) People work part of the day directly for themselves and the other for themselves as well, though indirectly.
Humans (or at least some of them) have free will to resist outside forces and make their own way. Nobody is forcing you to buy Pepsi, or wear Hollister. You as a sentient being are responsible for your own choices and to decide on your environment accordingly to your will. Seeing an advertisement for Walmart is not equivalent to having a gun put up to your head.
It's true that people are born into poverty, but it is again up to them to decide to get out of it. They have the Internet, social programs, vast arrays of knowledge at their disposal – if they can't make use of it, then it rather makes the case against them as life which is able to respond to its environment properly (by definition even threatening its labeling of "life" to begin with).
My parents were lower-middle class who frequently reminded me to stay within the budget when we went to the grocery store. Even before I moved out from them I started growing oregano in the lanai, which saved me a couple dollars a month at least. It wasn't the deciding factor, sure, but it certainly helped me save up to get the more important things in life that could be bought, like a house or my bicycle.

Yea, well people like you deserve to remain as you are – in your own misery sustained by your own lack of efforts and consciousness, all the while people like me get ahead in life and even come to lord over you.
