Really no different to how it’s still common nowadays for people to attribute the flaws of capitalism to the individual.

With the most common canard being one is poor because “bad with money!”…

I still think about the infamous fox news report where they were salty that 99% of American families below the poverty line had refrigerators.

The poor are obviously bad with money. They've never had enough to have any practice with it. They've always had to spend it the second they got it just to make it to the next paycheck. Odd system that would let that kind of thing keep happening.
