America's wealth grew by 60 percent in the past six years, by over $30 trillion. In approximately the same time, the number of homeless children has also grown by 60 percent.
Financier and CEO Peter Schiff said, "People don’t go hungry in a capitalist economy." The 16 million kids
on food stamps know what it's like to go hungry. Perhaps, some in
Congress would say, those children should be working. "There is no such
thing as a free lunch," insisted
Georgia Representative Jack Kingston, even for schoolkids, who should
be required to "sweep the floor of the cafeteria" (as theyactually do at a charter school in Texas).
