#miser

I see your "Bob Cratchit actually made the equivalent of around $50K per year, meaning most Americans make less than a Dickensian allegory for abject poverty." and raise you a "Scrooge hated Christmas with a burning passion, and yet he still was willing to give his clerk the paid day off because even he knows that he is not above the Social Contract. Meaning a Dickensian allegory for greed and miserliness still treats his employees better than most American companies do."
