Stephen Colbert is using satire and sarcasm here to critique perceptions of the poor. The best interpretation is that he is mocking the idea that those living in poverty somehow exploit “loopholes” or cunningly avoid obligations like the wealthy.

By suggesting the homeless have found ways to dodge property taxes, he is comically exaggerating and flipping the usual narrative that the rich use sophisticated tax strategies to minimize their contributions.

His quote aims to point out the absurdity and unfairness of accusing the less fortunate of similarly evading their financial duties, when in reality they struggle merely to meet basic needs.

Colbert is employing humor to highlight double standards and sympathize with the challenges of living in poverty.
