Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Against - Cutting food stamps before the holidays


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress


The Trump administration is now quite literally robbing the poor to give to the rich. Yesterday, they implemented a new rule that will force more than 700,000 Americans off of their food stamps — just weeks before the holidays.
Forcing the hungry into destitution as massive corporations like Amazon pay $0 in taxes is a violation of our common humanity. It’s cruel, plain and simple.
In a modern, wealthy, and moral nation, no family should go without food just because someone can’t work.
People’s lives are worth more than just the labor that they provide. If we’re spending trillions of dollars on war and tax cuts for mega-billionaires, not a single person should be going without food, water, or shelter. Period.
Thanks for your time,

Team AOC
