    From the comments:

    He was never the bad guy, he employed many, provided shelter for others and only evicted those that fell behind on rent and the story would be a bit cack if he was "nice" so him being "mean" gave us The Muppet Christmas Carol - the greatest Christmas film of all time ahead of Die Hard and Home Alone. Honestly I was rooting for him until he changed his ways.

    and

    I agree with you’re novel perspective. It’s a very interesting and accurate analysis of the irresponsibility of excessive and unchecked breeding.

    There's a couple people calling him out, but it's at least 50/50
