I don't agree with people here not caring about this. Why should anyone earn below the poverty line?

If producing value is what gives you the right to live, then why do managers and manager's managers get so highly paid? Does that also mean that artists shouldn't get to live either unless they're doing graphic art for a company?

They earn below the poverty line because they’re not generally working full time jobs because they’re chasing their sporting dream full time.
