The stigma of poverty
Supposedly it is your fault. This is how the rich tell themselves that they were always entitled to their wealth and that their privilege is deserved. Where the stigma does not or should not exist they will do everything in their power to apply it anyway. The rich need to believe that they deserve to be wealthy. By being poor you are inferior, you are given to criminal and crass behaviors.
