They are already pretty motivated and usually do work a lot more than middle class folks. The poor people who burn out completely and stop working end up on the street and either die pretty fast or find some more motivation to keep going even in that state. Also, sadly what many poor people lack is not work ethic but capital, in the sense that they can't just take on a ~20-30M loan to send their kids to school and wait for them to start working and then pay it back. So instead of doing this they are forced to do very near-zero ROI things.
