In 134B.C. Tiberius Gracchus tried to give land to the poor. he said that soldiers fought to protect the wealthy and got nothing in return
gave most of the land to his wealthy supporters
I guess that you are referring to Tiberius Gracchus, not Tiberius the emperor. He did not actually set up farms for the poor. He instituted an agrarian reform which redistributed land to the poor. Many of the poor in Rome were dispossessed peasants who had lost their farms and had migrated to Rome to eke out a living there. The plots of land which the state allocated to peasants were usually too small to sustain a family. Indebtedness was also a problem for many peasants. The owners of large landed estates took advantage of distressed peasants to buy land on the cheap and expand their estates, which were worked by slave labour. The implementation of this land reform proved difficult. Tiberius Gracchus was not the only one who attempted land reforms. His brother Gaius and several other politicians tried this, too. In the end it was Julius Caesar who was successful in implementing his land reform.
they were wealthy because the got some land.
Both Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus wanted to effect a land redistribution to give land to the landless poor.

Tiberius Gracchus wanted to effect a distribution of farm land to the landless poor. Many poor peasants had lost their land because they had fallen on hard times and the owners of the large and expanding landed estates had taken advantage of this to buy land of the cheap. Moreover, these landlords were in the habit of also encroaching on public land. Traditionally, the Roman state gave people plots of land which were just allotments. The bulk of the land was public land. However, the rich appropriated much of this land. Al law limiting the amount of land anyone could own had been introduced some 230 years earlier, but had proved ineffective. Tiberius saw giving plots of public land to the poor as a means to relieve poverty. However, this was bitterly opposed by the aristocracy and Tiberius and some 300 of his supporters were clubbed to death.
