You don't think perhaps adding the adjective "lazy" together with poor people wouldn't be better? Surely I don't have to list some examples of how one can become "poor" through little to no fault of their own, followed by the downward spiral and domino effect.

Poor is directly synonymous with laziness and poor decision making.

Plenty of people out there making six figures that are poor because they have no self control.

Plenty of people catch bad luck then get off there asses.

It’s really hard to be poor in USA, but very easy to be lazy.

I agree. I know many poor people that are both charitable and proud. They work for what little they do have, but find greater meaning in family and community. The kind of poor people that break their backs to provide and view government assistance as shameful. Being poor is not the quality that causes the behavior OP is describing.
