Might be a prejudiced bias after seeing him portrayed by Scrooge McDuck. Yeah, now that I think about, there is no reference to him being extraordinarily wealthy, just goddamn miserable.
I think most popular media portrays Scrooge as being at least better off than the people around him, but it can be difficult to figure his real wealth since the character is also supposed to live quite frugally.
He's portrayed as a typical libshit that expects the government or charities to help the poor and needy, so he doesn't need to do anything personally. I think in the Muppet Christmas Carol he says "Isn't that what my taxes pay for?!"
Also it's funny how these guys always say "the rich" (muh millionaires and billionaires), as if the rich don't already give money to charity, or as if this apparent poverty-stricken twitter user would share any more.
They hate "the rich," the "landlords," the "billionaires," the "capitalists" and the "1%" but you can never call them that one other thing...
