But isn't it kind of genius to pay people so little that they get food stamps that they then use to buy food at Walmart?

[telemann]

And getting the government to fund their profit margins while doing it!!
And I think that will be the fundamental argument that will successfully push the issue of paying living wages.

[fizzyland]

You would think but we know conservatives that argue the solution is to cut food stamps instead.

Because taking food from the mouths of babes is always a good idea.

Besides, Walmart like any corporation pays 13% in taxes, but their employees pay at least double of that.

Wal-Mart (and other big box grocery stores too, I'm sure) don't pay their employees a living wage. Employees get SNAP benefits from the government to help make ends meet. Some of said SNAP benefits doubtlessly gets spent at Wal-Marts.

Isn't that a business subsidy? Corporate welfare, if you will?

Corporate welfare is okay, because they're worth more than people. In Crazy Conservative Land, money is ALWAYS worth more than actual people.
