In my experience, "willingness to toil" is something that can be found in abundance in poor communities.

Granted, a problem is that while there is a "willingness to toil" there is also often an unwillingess to pay taxes.

Which results in an unwillingess of Medicare to pay your hospital bills or an unwillingess of Social Security to give you and your children any benefits.
