Did you know that one fifth of American kids depend on food stamps? Or that more and more working Americans use them because they don’t earn enough? Here’s what you need to know about SNAP - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Even $500 seems too low per month. If the people are willing to work then they ought to be helped a lot more and treated like human beings.

The government needs to raise the minimum wage, why should tax payers be responsible in covering the short pay of worker, while the CEO is making millions. Another option is to tax the CEO more, to subsidise the pay cheques.

+Itisnt There is a difference between CEO and Owner of a company. If government started taxing more to rich, soon all rich will flee to other countries along with their wealth. Company registration address can be changed any time. Developing countries gives red carpet invitation along with citizenship to rich. Nothing can be done, That's how Free market economy works.

+bilbo baggins California and New York, for example, have some of the highest taxes for businesses in the US, yet how many do you see moving to Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming, all who have some of the lowest taxes? Regardless, none of them will give up their American passport to live in most likely a non-English speaking country, away from friends and family, a familiar/comfortable lifestyle, and needing a visa to visit the US. Because you should know that once you have a US passport, you have to pay taxes to the US, even if you live abroad. Plus once their businesses are on US soil, the government can still tax the business, so they are not going anywhere.

If I did qualify for food stamps, I would have to work for job and family services 20 hours per week spending probably $50 in gas a month to get $100 in food stamps. Fortunately I don't qualify and i still spend

yep. One trip to the grocery store for an entire month of food. And some of the tough choices to be made are "do I buy 2 chicken breasts that I can turn into 3-4 meals if I ration it right, or do I go for the $1 frozen processed dinner so I can get 5-6 meals?"

Or, make a garden. Then you don't need food stamps, only problem is that I never met anyone who wants to make a a garden.

Alright. You make a garden in a rented apartment that has a total of two rooms, which houses your bedroom and bathroom in one room, and your common room and kitchen in the other. You also have no balcony, and are on the 3rd story. Go on, I'm curious how to set up a garden in those conditions, much less in any apartment building.
