    I make around $55,000 a year but I receive no benefits, no 401k, no future.

Isn't that reasonably good money though?

Don't worry about your 401k or pension or something. Young(-ish) people's pensions will be plundered by governments before they get anything anyway, so you're not any worse off in that regard.

    What really pisses me off is the "company" I work for is based in a place where they wouldn't dare treat their employees like that. But they can here. Because we're used to it. Because we're desperate. Just like me.

Why can't you move to a better place then? Is it genuinely impossible, or are you just uncomfortable with the idea?
