Turns out, a large portion of people using SNAP are employees of these "corps" (source), quote:

... The story repeats in all nine states. Walmart and McDonald’s were the corporations with the most employees using SNAP.

We are basically subsidizing their employees' wages with our tax money. And at the same time, all those money goes to these companies' bottom line. (where do you think their employees spend their SNAP money?)

This is a fucking scam, and must be stopped. These corporations must pay their employees a living wage, otherwise they must not be allowed to operate.

As it turns out, most small businesses pay a higher wage than the big corps. Average wages end up going down when a town gets Walmarted because Walmart pays less than the small businesses it drives out.
