Ugh, I am a total wage slave. I work in order to live, because my livelihood depends on it.
That's pretty sad. I'm over here eating shrimp and living good. Where do you work?
I work at a place that only pays what's called a living wage. It's only enough to meet basic needs.
Did you have a hard life growing up? Is that why you have to work for slave wages?
Not really :( I grew up in a pretty decent household. Both of my parents were doctors, and I work at a law firm. I think the problem is that businesses exploit us! 
Wow, that is awful. Do you know how long this has been going on in the world?
Far too long. The idea of wage labor versus slavery has been noted as early back as Ancient Rome. I think we need to reevaluate the 40 hour work week.
