This is a very common misconception about poor folks i.e they are jobless and lazy. If I work part time at $50/hr for 20 hrs a week. I'll still make much more than someone working 2 full time minimum wage jobs. Does that make me hardworking and them lazy? What of the folks who never really did anything and are millionaires like a Paris Hilton? Is she credited with hardwork?
If your solution is that everyone should get an education, it would only reduce the value of such degrees making us all poor. Now, I won't claim to have the answer but the situation is waay more complex than lazy = poor.
