Wow, “Let them eat cake” moment right there.
Why not also mention, “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”
Must be nice to be born with a golden spoon stuck up your ass, privileged asshole.

Expect tomorrows report to double down and lead with the “well, they’re still here after I gave them the answer yesterday. NOW we should round them up. Let’s cut to an ad for Uncle Ruperts Soylent Green!”

Oh, you just know that’s a sure part of the plan should Ol’ Donnie Shit-For-Brains ever get back to DC.
A lot of this is about installing or reinforcing the thought-terminating cliches in Fox viewers’ heads as well - lots of homeless people in California? That means it’s a shithole, and it’s run by Democrats, who are evil, and you don’t need to care about these people because they choose to live this way. Don’t ask questions about how or why people end up homeless, or consider how to help them, just dehumanise them.
Isn’t it more a concept of deserving poor people and deserving rich people?
As an aside, I think the reason why (misinterpreted) Darwinism was picked up enthusiastically in certain circles is that it offered “scientific proof” of “the natural order of things”. A nice alternative to fall back on when arguments based on religious grounds lost credibility.
The idea of “deserving poor” was well established.
It was more to differentiate the right sort of poor people, those who deserved charity, and those who deserved their fate.

Just in case it had to be said, rich folks like to do drugs, too.
