You've stated a few times that poor people choose to be poor in this very thread. If you are in fact bothered by this, then it's safe to assume that you want poor people to choose to escape poverty. If that's the case, then I must also assume that you have thought of some reasons why the poor make the absurd choices that they make. So what do you think? Why do you think the poor choose not to escape poverty? Lack of education? Low cognitive capacity? What do you think? I am interested.
