If Americans Are Stupid Enough To Fall For This - They Deserve Whatever They Get.

[Heywood]

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.

Where does the government get the money to pay for the food stamps? Well, 7 billion dollars came from Walmart. If Walmart is going to be forced to pay their employees a wage sufficient to keep them off food stamps, then the payment they are forced to make to subsidize the government should be reduced because the government won't need as much.
