If the person is not constrained to suffer famine and cold, his poverty consists only in ideas about "standard of living" and "human dignity". As if, the low standard of living lowers dignity. The ideas, dominant in culture, are the reason of sufferings of the poor people. These ideas have purpose: to boost eagerness, to force to progress. The value of expensive pleasures (it is subjective!) is overestimated, free pleasures is underestimated (as "frivolous", "children's", "not suitable for the worthy person").. Culture it not the actuality - she may be any.
Struggle against poverty is only way to force the people to work. To the people, which worked a little, and were pleased with a low standard of living, have shown "how it is necessary to live ", have tempted by the promise of a high level of life, and have offered to more to work.
It does not justify efforts!
