Simply no.  People with strong values put those values over animal needs.  I have been poor and lived on beans for a while because I couldn't afford anything else.  I think it is the opposite of what you say.  People who have never been poor fear poverty more because it is an unknown and they don't know how to handle it.  And this is also why class isn't really economic.  A true freeman will always value freedom regardless of his economic condition.
