That is a gross over-generalization and over-simplification. People that behave that way can be found in all economic classes as can people who behave in a polite, considerate and generous way. And many times people treat you how you treat them.
Did I say ALL dirt-poor people are like that? I don't believe I did...but certainly many of them are...
No, you said "THE", thus lumping them into one all-inclusive group that all behave the same way. The implication of your post was clear, changing it now to "many" after the fact doesn't fix it.
