Actually it's not a "mindset," it's circumstances. Yes, there are a few who, through either heroic effort or sheer good luck, make it out of poverty. But to expect that *all* poor people should be so lucky or capable of such heroism, and that they somehow deserve their misery if they aren't, is, you know, so meanspirited it beggars belief.
