one of the more definitive moment in the movie for me is the talk show scene

Arthur is actually pretty sympathetic and often correct (in this scene) until he says "fuck it" and kills Murray; Murray believes the lie that the Wall Street boys were innocent, but we as an audience know this <i>definitely</i> wasn't the case, so Arthur saying "they were awful" is a fair thing Murray couldn't have known.

Arthur's bits on wishing people would step over him less and that "people like him" (people with means, who don't live in poverty) should think about what it's like to live in other people's shoes. This is pretty obviously biting at the class divide since we know Murray, Thomas, etc. are very well off while Arthur becomes increasingly destitute throughout the film.
