I doubt that this is the reason. It is more likely that to "be poor" is simply the default mode, i.e. it takes effort and a plan to acquire resources, therefore if these conditions are not met (given that objects at rest tend to stay at rest) the natural consequence is one that does not require a philosophical reason to exist.
