Quotation marks indicate quotations, not emphasis. Emphasis is indicated by italics (or underlining when an italic font isn't available).
In the context in which you used them, the quotation marks function as scare quotes (much like air quotes) and suggest that while these people are referred to as "poor people," we all know know we're not really talking about poor people.
