while the rich get richer, the poor get poorer

1 out of 3 Americans live below the poverty line. 1 out of 6 Americans are starving.
The richest one percent of America owns almost 40% of our entire wealth.

I think we should tax the rich. This would help raise some money for people in poverty.I think that if your annual income for your entire household is below a certain amount, you should be eligible for welfare.I know there that is how welfare kind of is now, but I think we should raise the minimum amount.That way more people could be eligible for welfare if they need it.I think this would help even out the poor and the rich a little more.
