5. Most people on food stamps now have JOBS
They sweat their lives away at jobs that don't pay them enough for FOOD!!

Back when the minimum wage was instituted, it was meant to provide the minimum a family needed for food and shelter. Now it won't allow a single person to EAT!

This is what has gone so wrong in this country. In their desperate attempt to fill the emptiness within themselves with money, the wealthy have robbed us of everything and work no longer has anything much to do with supporting the workers expected to do it.

THIS is our Marie Antoinette moment and it's been happening for years!
