You know, it makes me wonder how people (like, the average Joe/Jane) view Mickey and friends. Do they view them as just walking talking guys in suits (even in merchandising/cartoons/comics/etc) or some alien beings who only put on a friendly appearance while secretly pulling off some Lovecraftian shenanigans?

I was thinking about that...
Slug almost- ALMOST makes a decent point, if not for one vital part being left out; if poor people worked more, they wouldn't be poor anymore... Except they can't get those jobs to begin with! To get a decent job nowadays, you need, like, degrees and stuff, but college costs money, which requires... a job! Which they can't get! Like a locked door with the key behind it!
It's kind of like saying "Drowning people should swim better, then they wouldn't be drowning"; obviously they'd rather be swimming (working & paid) than drowning (jobless & poor), but they didn't have the chance to learn how to swim (employment opportunities) before you (societal demands) tossed them in the water (costs of living), which is why they're drowning in the first place. (probably not a perfect analogy, but it's the best i could do in my current state of hungry/tired)
There are a lot of factors that combine to cause this, but I'm going to primarily blame downsizing and outsourcing; "Oh, we'd love to hire you, but that job is now performed entirely overseas so we don't even have to pay them minimum wage or worry about any safety regulations. Ah, isn't foreign slave labor the greatest?" (obviously this isn't always the case, but it seems alarmingly common nowadays. Maybe I'm just getting disgruntled.)
Although, while not as common as the legitimately-jobless, there certainly ARE some people who are just straight-up lazy and can't be arsed to actually work (even if they have the ability to do so), expecting everything to just be handed to them without putting forth any effort in return, in which case the smug slug is actually spot-on. THOSE people should leave the complaining to the ones who DO want to work, but can't... (for whatever reason, be it disability or simply lack of available jobs)
oh great, here i go ranting again... forgot my rule about "no internet on an empty stomach"; makes me prone to both start rambling and to- FUCK IT THEY DONT NEED YOUR LIFE STORY JUST ADD REPLY AND GO EAT fine alright jeez what are you my mom
i'm sorry.

It's a complex issue, but a big part of it is the iron law of distribution. (Them that has, get.) There is a lo t more opportunity for those who have more resources. The same amount of work will get you a different amount of result depending on what you already have. Some people don't even have the ability to do a rich person's work. (How many third worlders would make great CEOs and what are their chances of even getting employed by a big company?) This can be as simple as not having a car. This limits how far you can go and thus what jobs you can apply for. No job, no money. No money, no car. (And if you're working and your car conks out, you can be homeless in a month.)
The thing bout outsourcing to me is that it does help the poor, but not our poor. While often rather shocking by our standards things like staffing a helpline or spending all day doing accounts can be remarkably lucrative and a big source of income. (There are of course limits, sweatshops are similarly beneficial but not exactly something to encourage.)
One of the big success stories for the impoverished today is microcredit, allowing people who before could not access financial infastructure to do so and thus improve their own lives.
Have yourself a snickers. (Why? you get analytical when you're hungry.)
