I think this is an unfair generalization, some poor people are honestly stuggling and had no one around to tell them how to not be poor. I personally thought it was hopeless till I saw richdad poor dad book. Now I don't agree with him on alot but at the back of his book is a reading list and the book about the Millionaires next door is what got me thinking different.
That being said, I don't begrudge the rich their rewards either. I just resent being labeled as lazy because I am poor. I realize hindsight being 20/20 that I would have done things differently and maybe been in a different income bracket had I known then what I know now.
