Well I am not sure jt can grasp this idea but the "job creators" in our country have been getting richer on the backs of the middle class and this article and your post is proof of that. Things like food stamps are there as safety nets so that people don't starve because they don't have enough money for food. Though we should be asking our private sector to make less profit for those at the top to help better take care of their employers so that the government doesn't have to do it for them.

Look. You can't wish for this. It's just not going to happen. The rich do not mind spending and investing but not when they're uncertain about the outcome. The probability of profitability needs to be good. The state of our economy just doesn't afford that right now.
If the economy were better, they would, but they will not take money from their own pocket to do so. I wouldn't either.
This whole, make the rich pay, will backfire. We've seen it over the past 4 years with lay offs and cuts. The D plan isn't working.
The US Department Agriculture says 50 million people went hungry last year.
“It confirms what we’ve been seeing, that the situation is not getting any better yet — in fact, it’s slowly decaying,” says Philabundance president Bill Clark.
Clark says that in Pennsylvania, one in nine households now suffers from food insecurity.
In the Delaware Valley, he says, more than 900,000 people don’t get enough food. And Clark says it’s no longer just those living below the poverty line.
“The bottom of the middle class is being forced to reach out and get assistance,” Clark tells KYW Newsradio.“Their income has not kept pace with inflation, and they’re being squeeze in a vise. They just cannot get through the month.”
Obama and the left continue with their war on the middle class. In addition to the church and the family, the middle class is just another obstacle that the left must destroy in order to make the west more palatable to communism.
It is too bad our leftist countrymen do not take a field trip to Cuba or North Korea and see exactly what we are "missing".
This, of course, is true only on Opposite Day, where Democrats are the ones fighting against unions, health care, middle-class tax breaks and seeking to "let Detroit fail".
What's sad is some of the most hard core, anti worker, anti middle class, voters, supporting harming unions, and cutting middle class benefits, are these scared, poorly educated, elderly whites, who can sit back and collect their SS benefits, but eagerly support cutting the benefits of their kids and grandkids.
Maybe we could eliminate the minimum wage and reinstitute indentured workers while we are at it. If they didn't have to pay them employers would hire more wouldn't they? Starvation might still be a problem but so what. The lazy bums don't deserve to eat anyway.
And the president says he is protecting the middle class when in reality he is hoping the middle class goes broke and has to depend on government
True. Normally the middle class isn't entirely dependent on big government for everything it has. Under Obama is is.
Now the middle class will be put on Medicaid, many considered middle class already get government housing vouchers, EITC handouts, food stamps, free meals for their children at the government feeding stations called schools, unemployment handouts that seem to go on indefinitely.
So what are we, the middle class, doing to better our own lives, apart from sitting back and waiting for a magic answer from the government?
