i think his solutions to poverty were to have the homeless shelters take care of them along with the jails..and since a lot of them would rather die than be poor he suggested they do so.

"Are there no workhouses"? That's what Scrooge asked, he thought all the poor people should be put in prison or workhouses.
The workhouse, sometimes referred to as the Bastille, was a ruthless attempt in 19th century England to solve the problem of poverty.

I believe his solution was to put the poor in jail.
I remember the line: "well thats what jails are for!'
