This is pretty simple. If you make just enough for gas and can't feed your kids, you need to find another job.

This is exactly the same out cry every restaurant server makes: "without tips I couldn't live! so you are responsible to tip if you eat out". When in reality they have to make enough to keep working, so that is just social pressure from them to bleed out money from rest of us.

In no other job would we tolerate this kind of behavior. Why should we feel bad for these people?
