At least this part sounds good.
Many collecting food stamps ARE working full time. A lot of retail outlets and fast food places pay so little, that workers still need food stamps to survive. There's no excuse for that. We as tax payers are subsidizing Walmart and other corporations, allowing them to squeeze their labor costs on the government's dime. No one will work just to starve so without Food Stamps, Walmart et al couldn't get away with paying so little.
This is another example of "corporate welfare", only instead of direct subsidies, this one is indirect. Any full time worker that needs food stamps to survive should have the costs of food stamps plus administrative fees billed to the employing corporation. Or raise the minimum wage. Whichever.
