What you wrote makes no sense. It would make sense if people argued against the minimum wage and for welfare(as I do....except I just want to give poor people money instead of food stamps, housing assistance, etc.).
Further, its not that Walmart is abusing the welfare system. Its that the welfare system skews the labor market so much that it allows Walmart to attract employees it might not otherwise attract if there were no welfare system to begin with.
You can't just pretend a welfare system has no impact on labor markets.
