I have wondered if the aggressive response to homeless folks doesn't stem from recognition of how little it would take to end up in their shoes...

  Certainly the fact that ones own financial security is fragile makes people feel threatened by beggars - some people, you could give away everything you own and they’d still be asking for more. However I think a lot of attitudes stem from the opposite - a lack of understanding that many homeless people are regular people, or could be, or could have been.
