So, if they still can be poor through working, doesn't that mean then that it's not really a choice?

No, they have the choice not to sell drugs, join a gang, shoot people, commit crimes etc. Most people dont start out with good jobs, it takes time to advance. Putting in the work will generally net you at least a middle class life depending on your other choices. 

People who have graduated from high school, who are married, who don't have kids out of wed-lock with a full time job have a 98% statistical likely hood of taking part in the middle class. There are people in this world that think being poor isn't a choice. I guess those people haven't heard of using their brain in such ways that will net them returns on their labor/investments. This pertains to (but not limited to) people who sit on their couch all day watching television while complaining about the rich getting richer.
