There's even a saying in French that goes like this, "We may be poor... but we're honest..." ...which describes very well the mindset...

I think a person who is being really honest will recognize that she is not poor
because other people are rich, and she is not poor
because she is good and only bad people get rich. Those are rationalizations that someone might use to feel comfortable in her circumstances, but to cling to that mindset is not something I'd describe as being honest.
