How many hungry people could be fed with $50,000?

The 'people' who payed $50,000 a plate to see mitt declare war on the poor, I wonder why they don't donate that $50,000 to local food pantries? I wonder how many families could be fed with just one mitt romney plate of food?

The arrogance is staggering.

choose to give to the needy instead of the greedy every time they had one of these banquets for the good ol' boys this country could be so better off. Instead a few gorge for awhile hours,listening to the spew of hate and greed while those who are going with little or nothing to eat feel little comfort in their words "wanting to help EVERYONE" while only mentioning a percentage.

More like $10,000 if you gave them coupons for free subs.
