Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker Challenges Twitter User to Live on Food Stamps

Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker (D) challenged a right-wing Twitter user on Sunday to try to live on food stamps for a week or a month, reports Politico.com.

The Twitter user goes by the handle of @MWadeNC and describes herself as a "Daughter of the American Revolution (DAR), fighting against any and all forms of socialism/communism.. Army Veteran, Army Daughter, Army Wife."

The challenge came after Mayor Booker quoted the Greek historian Plutarch on Twitter.com: "An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics."
