totally agree with syd.

In addition, they are the ones who we can identify with easily when we all start from scratch, coz we are basically taking babysteps to merely survive and have a decent living. To call spade a spade, yes they do us a lot of favour but in return we have traditionally been trustworthy workers for them. So it's basically favour done and favour returned.

Yes they are important coz we all know it will be nightmare for us if we don't have even that min. wage job. But that said, they benefit from us too. Goodness everywhere is what I feel.
