The right wing majority on scotus legalizes bribery and criminalizes homelessness because to them, rich people deserve rights and poor people deserve nothing. If they were deserving they’d be rich.

It's the combination of believing "the world is zero-sum" and "the world is just (i.e. those who are rich deserve it, those who are poor deserve it)" that is the underpinning of right-wing politics. Which is why the New Deal was so powerful, and why the right wing hates it so much.

Calvinist predestination at its finest, "I'm rich, so God loves me more, you're not, so God obviously does not love you, you are not one of the chosen, you must be bad, and don't deserve to be treated as human"
