Well-off people get food stamps easier than a middle class ?!?

I went to read about 5 articles but I had not found any of them that I like until I read the “Smirking Chimp's” article. And I think it is so true that everybody should know.  This article talks about food stamps for middle class and especial for upper class. It is right for people to get Government's helps when they have no money for food. And the article does talk about how hard it is to go through all the way down to get the service improves with or without second or third appointment. Thus, I think it must be terrible for people that really need help and have to go through all those steps to get a food stamp card.  I was not really surprised when the article says that upper class people apply for food stamps too, because I heard about it before. The big surprise thing is that they do not have to do anything but just give their lobbyist a call to get immediate service without waiting in line. I mean it is so unfair. I really do not know how they can get it improves while they are already in upper class. It really makes me feel like they can do whatever they want with their money and their super power.
It is sad when I remember a few months ago; I shared a room with a family of four that I think their situation may make it possible to get the food stamp if they apply. However, they did not do it and they told me that they wanted to save it for people that are poorer than them. I wonder if well-off people ever think about that food stamps which they get so easier, which can even save others lives. Further, they should know that if they have enough money in the bank to buy their own food, they should not run to the government for assistance .I hope the Government will check it and will not let it happen again. I believe whoever has a little (or more than that) should help those who have nothing. Everyone should be treated equal.
