What particularly appalling thing does Scrooge say the gentlemen collecting for charity?

When the gentlemen refer to the poor not wanting to go to the work house (remember the work house treated people appallingly almost like criminals ) they cite that many would rather die first. Scrooges reply was simple , "They better had then and decrease the surplus population". This literally come back to haunt him when he asks the ghost of Christmas Present if tiny Tim be spared his death, the ghost replies "he better had then and decrease the surplus population"


Why does the ghost of Christmas past say If he be like to die then he had better do it and decease the population?

Its the Ghost of Christmas Present that makes this statement. This follows Scrooges query when they stood in the Cratchit household on Christmas Morning. Scrooge sees Tiny Tim and asks of his further, the ghost states I see an empty chair by the fire and a crutch without an owner. Scrooge is horrified to realise that Tim is destined to die. The Ghost rebukes Scrooges plea to say that is not so by saying "If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race,'' returned the Ghost, will find him here. What then? If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.''
