Here is another article that argues that poverty taxes the ability to practice willpower also:

But you have individuals argue that the solution to poverty is to make things harder. LIke, to prevent permanent unemployment, get rid of unemployment insurance:

In that, to see that making financial hardship harder impacts ability to be a constructive worker in a negative way, will undermine the desire to end up practicing austerity and seeing it as something good.
