Poor people are shamed or criminalized for panhandling, living with parents, sleeping in public, selling drugs, or performing sex work, none of which involve relying on government.
Meanwhile, rich people rely on government all the time. They lobby for policies that benefit them. They own patents to destroy competition and allow them to price gouge or plan obsolescence. They rely on police to protect their property so they don't have to hire their own private security. They use prison labor to save money on labor costs. They profit from wars.
It's almost as if poor people are hated for being poor and not for relying on government.
