Poverty in America means fewer choices -- starker ones, often between degrading, destructive, and dehumanizing results. The rhetoric about "one percent" and "ninety-nine percent" reflects that the one percent see themselves deserving of everything and that the other ninety-nine exist at their whim -- at least by right.
If there are no good decisions, then one surely makes bad ones. At the extreme one could have "steal or starve".
Truth be told, the working poor get a raw deal in every aspect of life. They get too little pay to save anything. They work for little and have huge expenses. I can imagine what happens in the end -- they die before their time, at least as trends go. When one is worn out the Master Class no longer needs one.
