Scrooge's disdain for the poor can be attributed to his greed and selfishness, which lead him to prioritize wealth and material gain over empathy and compassion for others. His focus on financial success blinded him to the struggles and humanity of those less fortunate, causing him to view them with contempt and indifference.
