Means testing to prevent the upper tier of the middle class and the rich from getting any money that rightly belongs to the poor?

Replying to @dailydishwater @jbouie
No, because means testing often imposes a cost in terms of paperwork & time that the poor can't meet, so they are often cut out of stuff. And creates stigma & makes it easier to cut stuff. It's really bad
