That's the very basis of capitalism, the idea that having money allows you to buy the product of someone else's labor for less than it is worth. Poverty is the motivator, the stick to success' carrot that enjoins laborers to acquiesce to sell their time at a loss. Work or die homeless. Stay healthy, and be sure to save for retirement because when you stop working your life will be miserable.
