    It’d be nice if they just disagreed but instead they hate you for reasons made up by those who enjoy get richer off of people not having their needs met.

      There aren’t a lot of people who get richer when economic output is lower. Sure, there are some in some specific scenarios, but for the most part rich assholes support pro-poverty policies not because they stand to benefit, but because they are assholes, or more likely simply because they are ignorant. They aren’t very different from the lumpen proletariat demanding policies against their own interests in that regard.
