Poor and Middle Class Suffer

After reading the Los Angeles Times article on the top 1% getting richer. It starts out by stating that there is at least 1 group of americans that have found a path through the harsh times. That  group would be the rich. While the poor and middle class numbers keep rising, the gap between the rich and everyone else is unbelievably large.
Even though the countries poor and middle class struggle to get by on wages that are barely enough to support there family. House Republicans are saying that it is time to cut 40 billion from federal food stamp program.

With that being said it is ridiculous that the Republican party is spending so much time trying to destroy any hope that could help the poor and needy by doing away with something that so many families that are not fortunate enough to be able to buy groceries on there own. To make things better they should have a bill that would set work requirements to those who wish to benefit from the Food Stamp Program. Our government needs to work together to employ more Americans and close the gap between the rich and poor.
