Above is the American Flag representation that I did for history class. The flag saids “20%___Food Stamp 60 Million.” Each piece of white paper is meant to represent one million food stamps. There are roughly 60 on the red paper.
I chose this fact because it shows informs us that there 20% of Americans are on food stamps. Food stamps are ‘coupons’ that the government gives out to poor people to help pay for their food. When you are in such poverty that you are struggling to put food on the table, the government subsidise your food costs by giving you these food stamps.
Hunger and poverty are big problems in our country and I wanted to inform the public about how important it is that the government uses taxpayers money (your money) to pay for others’ food.
