I haven't bought into any meme whatsoever, old fruit.

This is most certainly not about penalising the poor whatsoever.
I personally know a few individuals who do spend a disproportionate amount of their income on alcohol, weed and cigarettes (60 a day) while not putting anything aside - and without wishing them to be 'punished' I wouldn't want to be punished myself, as it were.
