(412 posts)Read years ago Walmart was all for this since a decent amount of their customers are on Food Stamps. Also read since Walmart paid their employees so little in some states they qualify for them.
Raise the miminum wage reduces the amount of people on food stamps plus increases tax revenue.

(412 posts)That would not surprise me. I have not stepped foot in a Walmart for almost 15 years due to the fact they do not offer employees health insurance and pay them so little.

(25,841 posts)everyone ought to get snap. I think that then, finally, the middle and slightly upper income people would understand how important it is.

Expanding SNAP puts money into rural America. The GOP is stupid to fight it. But a lot of their constituents are too stupid to realize they're getting fucked over (I'm looking at you, Uncle Bob on your hog farm, who voted for Trump and then cried when trade with China got blown up, but said you will still vote for him again)
