The lazy ass poor person who won't look for a job is a relative rarity and farce that is based on racial and social class stereotypes (moreso the former than the latter).
There is no such thing as being underpaid.

You agree to work for a certain wage. If you are underpaid, you have a valid complaint for the labor department. And as far as social class stereotypes are concerned, they're mostly accurate. If you learn a trade/value your education, you generally aren't going to end up in a lower class situation. For those that ended up there due to their own efforts (or usually lack thereof), I feel zero pity.
