I wouldn't rush to judge until you have walked in their shoes.

lower level positions were never intended/designed to provide a living wage - they are entry level positions, an initial stepping stone into the job market & the basis to better understand the system so with hard work they can move up into higher, more responsible positions with better related compensation - not sure why anyone would not clearly see this
