They aren’t saying poor people revel in their inherent immorality.
They are saying poverty forces people, against their will, to break their moral codes and principles. It’s one of the worst things about the power dynamics of money: not being able to afford an iPhone is a laughably trivial concern compared to having to work instead of spending time with your children, when you know how much of an impact your absence will have on them, for example.
I was glad to read it as a pithy and sobering comment, even if I didn’t agree with the rest of the post.
