he thinks they should go to work houses
It is difficult to determine how far a country should go in making concessions to achieve peace. Peace is important for the citizens in any country, and many citizens who are living in war torn areas may think that a country should go as far as necessary to achieve peace. Even going so far as entering into a war to gain peace for the country.
He learns several during the night of the visit from the Ghosts. From Marley alone, Scrooge learns: 1) The singular pursuit of profit, with no attempt to share money with others, will lead to eternal misery: "It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death. It is doomed to wander through the world and witness what it cannot share, but might have shared on earth, and turned to happiness!" 2) Scrooge himself wears a chain "as heavy and as long as this, seven Christmas Eves ago. You have laboured on it, since. It is a ponderous chain!" 3) That the purpose of business people is NOT profit: "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!" 4) That simply feeling sorry is NOT enough: "no space of regret can make amends for one life's opportunity misused!" 5) That there is plenty of chances to go to those in need -- IF you will bother to look: "Why did I walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise my eyes to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode! Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me!" 6) And, upon looking out after Marley's departure, Scrooge saw "one old ghost, in a white waistcoat, with a monstrous iron safe attached to its ankle, who cried piteously at being unable to assist a wretched woman with an infant, whom it saw below, upon a door-step. The misery with them all was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good, in human matters, and had lost the power for ever." In other words, the time to assist others is BEFORE you find yourself in an eternity of regret for not doing so.

No, in the beginning of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, Scrooge refuses to donate to charity, saying that the poor should go to workhouses or prisons instead. It is only after his visits from the ghosts that he becomes charitable and generous.
Scrooge wants the poor to go to workhouses or prisons, suggesting that they are better off there than on the streets. He believes that those institutions are the appropriate places for the poor to seek help or relief from their difficulties.
Scrooge does not believe in giving to the poor because he values money and success above all else. He sees poverty as a sign of personal failure and weakness, and believes that helping the poor will only encourage laziness and dependency. He is also selfish and lacks empathy for others.
The other men who came to the warehouse wanted a donation for the poor. Scrooge replied to them by saying that he already supports the prisons and workhouses, indicating his lack of willingness to contribute further.
In "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, Scrooge famously states that the poor should go to prisons or workhouses rather than receive help from others, believing they are not his responsibility. This reflects his selfish and callous nature at the beginning of the story.
The fourth option Scrooge suggested to the solicitors was to "make them some slight provision" so that the poor could go to the workhouses and not die on the streets.
They are local businessmen seeking a charitable donation form other businesses so they may give the poor of London some shelter, warmth and food that very Christmas as many people were starving and homeless.
Scrooge reacts with fear and reluctance towards the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. He is initially hesitant to follow the silent and ominous figure, and dreads what lessons the ghost has to show him about his future.

His most used phrase was "Bah, Humbug". When asked about charitable donations for the poor he is alos fmous for saying "Are there no prisions, are there no work houses?" which was to mean why should I give them money when they can go to these places.
