CNN Hero Feeds Hungry for Seven Years Straight

A CNN video of Jorge Munoz, a bus driver and family man in the city of New York, really touched upon the concept of income inequality and the social welfare system in the U.S. As we have seen, the social safety net has typically been smaller than that of Europe because of "reciprocal altruism" for one. As Americans, we believe that the poor are lazy, so we are more resistant to welfare programs. However, Jorge Munoz shows that there are people who are not judgmental but instead offer their assistance to the poor and homeless. Those like Jorge add a cushion for the poor while the 90/10 wage gap decreases.
