Don't confuse "deserve" with "want". I think the use of the word "need" in the cartoon is meant to be ironic.

Maybe those Ford engineers that ALM mentions - the ones bitching about the line workers' pay should take your advice. Sounds to me like they might be the ones thinking they "deserve" something.
