As a macro population of people, I do believe that to be true. As individuals, I do not.

While you can't stop one-off personal bad choices or lack of responsibility, you can find a systematic cause for most population-level problems.

Poor people have poor ways, regardless of anything else. Poverty will fuck up anyone mentally and morally.
