1. Not all writers are paid big bucks. Think of every show that goes into a third season. Not many, yes? Most barely last one. Those are the only writers that ever see substantial amounts of money. The rest are middle-class if they're lucky, and they manage that based on residuals from reruns of their shows and DVD sales. This isn't even mentioning how old their current contract was or the issues of internet content.
2. The AMPTP does not just deal with the WGA. They also make contracts with all those other people you feel sorry for. The Writer's Guild is the first to renew their contract with the AMPTP and so they set the tone for every other contract made after them. Essentially, if the writer's get screwed over so does everyone else. And the writers have taken this responsibility seriously. If they let themselves be screwed over, it will create a landslide effect.
3. If not for writers, those workers you mentioned wouldn't have jobs anyway. And that's the point being made. No writers, no shows, no money for anyone.
Now, I do agree that the WGA and AMPTP need to get the hell over themselves and start negotiations again, but it is the AMPTP that needs to start backing down, not the writers.
