Back in the 1980s, a wealthy businessman proposed paying poor people to get sterilized. In exchange for something like $50,000, they'd get their tubes tied or a vasectomy. It gained popular support and many others in the business community pledged to support it with their own money, no government money required.
Then Leslie Stahl invited him on to a show she was hosting to promote his voluntary plan. But when the cameras started rolling, turned out it was an ambush where she accused him of being a Nazi white supremacist trying to sneak in eugenics. Even though there was no race component to the offer, since more blacks are poor per capita, she said it was racist. Once the interview aired, the other wealthy men who pledged financial support for it pulled out and public support collapsed.
