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

No, I do not believe that poor people are lazy and have brought their conditions on themselves. Poverty is often created and perpetuated by a variety of structural factors outside of an individuals control. It is not always indicative of moral or intellectual failings, and those who are living in poverty deserve respect, compassion and support to try and improve their situations.
