I feel like they’re not literally telling people to just stop being poor, but they’re trying in a roundabout way to imply that poor people are poor because they have a “victim mentality” and that “not rising above being a statistic is a choice”

It’s basically an old conservative platitude you’ve probably heard before but worded a little differently because they think people will see it as clever and profound, but also so it’s harder to identify and call out
