Poor people have been doing this all along. Yes, even the working poor.

I learned over 40 years ago -- 1979 -- that even if "they" appreciate your effort now, they can (and probably will) stop appreciating it as soon as it's to their benefit. I haven't been an active participant in the corporate capitalist economy since then. Oh, I've had a few jobs out there, but I've never given "them" any more than the bare minimum to get a usually much needed paycheck. I've done without a lot of things most Americans these days consider necessities; I'd rather do without than sell my soul to "them."
