Like many of the time that have money (resorce) they considered the poor of Britain to have brought their situation on themsleves. This is why he refers to Prisons, Workhouses and the Treadwheel when talking to the businessmen seeking a donation to help those with nothing

Across Britain at that time but more son in the Eastend of London poverty was huge. eight million people had decended on London alone hoping for a new life - They found accomodation for less one million across the whole of London, no work, 85% unemployment. Scrooges comments were to reflect what had been said in parliment of the time that the state of deprivation was "grossly over exaggerate". When in fact it was the scale of ignorance and want that were understated
