do you think poor people brought it on themselves and are lazy

No, I do not think poor people brought their situations on themselves or are lazy. Poverty is the result of a myriad of factors, including lack of access to education and employment opportunities, gender and racial discrimination, natural disasters and political oppression. Laziness is not a factor that is typically associated with poverty.
