The
situations and constraints that the poor find themselves in often lead
to short-term thinking and counter-productive behaviors. They don't do
it because they're irrational and/or like being poor. Even the
"self-made Masters of the Universe" (conservatives like Romney, Ryan,
Hannity, Trump, etc. who blame the poor for being poor) would likely do
no better in their shoes. http://www.npr.org/blogs/
Also, the ludicrous propaganda that the poor somehow live large off the rest of us and strategically exploit social programs when they could be working is really backed by no statistical evidence (but of course anecdotes exist). But stereotypes like that make it easier for society to ignore/dismiss/hate the poor, against our compassionate tendencies and the teachings of virtually every religious/moral code known to man.
