Lots of assumptions here about "them". There are plently of poor people who do an amazing job of budgeting, out of necessity. There are plenty of good, genourous and dependable poor people.

Many people bear the brunt of misfortune, just like many of us benefit from good fortune. Born into a good family and got a great education, great! Born in a ghetto and went to public school in a bad part of town? Sucks to be you.
