For clarification, I initially read it to mean that anybody "poor enough" to have to work to earn money does not deserve to live. I.e., rich people are human, everybody else is subhuman.
Your interpretation I saw a few moments later, and that the post was criticizing that phrase. Basically, the polar opposite of my first impression.
Ah yes it can be interpreted multiple ways, I see your perspective 1) there are people who don't need to work in order to earn money, they are the highest class of humans.
Then there are people who have to work to earn money, they are considered pitiful but still essential cogs in our economy,
then there are people who do not earn money and they are the ones who capitalism deems worthless.
