Did Jesus hate the poor and the needy?

Welfare is flawed yes. But what disgusts me is the conservative right and the way they seek to dismantle the programs of welfare. They use the example of the maybe 1 or 2 percent of people who are on welfare and scamming the system to state that welfare ought to be destroyed. This is absolutely not the case. But what disturbs me the most is when it is members of the LDS church who are preaching such hateful doctrine. Remind me again what Jesus preached? Was it love for the poor and helping the weak? Or did he live a life of self justification saying that he could pay for his own needs why should he have to pay for anyone else. Did Jesus offer his services to whomever bid highest? No he healed the poor.
