There's more than just that. There is hatred of the poor, which exists in every class. A phenomenon we're all very familiar with but which does not even have a name. It's always politically advantageous to attack the poor, and it rarely wins elections to attack poverty.

Worst part is that technically things are a lot better for everyone when you don’t need to worry about a homeless population. The only people who would lose anything wouldn’t even notice if three quarters of their money disappeared and they can’t handle losing even a handful of dollars to things like the appropriate compensation of their workers or paying their fuckin’ taxes.
