This is only true for those players playing in the US, those playing outside ie in the European Leagues are in similar pay scales. All are conditional to what the team they are playing for and what they think they are worth. The US based players get paid what they are worth based on the market. When the sport becomes as popular as basketball and baseball and the teams start making the same kind of money the salaries of US based players should increase.

Because no one in the U.S. cares about soccer so they don't get as much ad/sponsorship money to pay them. Basketball teams in other countries don't pay well either...

yes they are real bad, and i think they are being overpaid,they basically just play a game in a very easy and lazy way, like they are having fun at the local park.
