I once worked (briefly) with someone who actually held those views. Single mothers were scum who shouldn't be allowed to claim benefits - even if they were divorced single mothers whose partners had deserted them. Unemployed people were scum who just "didn't try hard enough to find a job". Disabled people were scum who should have been put down at birth rather than be a burden on the state.
It felt like karma when her husband walked out on her (for a younger, prettier model) and left her to try to cope with their "quiver full" of children by herself, giving her no child support. Of course the children were all too young for her to work full time without child support - which she couldn't afford to pay for on her salary.
