15% of America is on foodstamps, Bub

Anyone working in a low end retail or restaurant job can probably qualify for food stamps.

Seniors on fixed incomes? Food stamps.

COLLEGE students? Food stamps.
Low ranking enlisted people in the military? Food stamps.
Children of illegal immigrants? FOOD STAMPS. They can even get info about applying while they are still in Mexico....
an OPEC country.

So your point is????

Who ISN'T SUBSIDIZED by the OBAMA government???

WalMart alone can and should fix this by paying unskilled people more than their average worker pay of $12 an hour? ($9 an hour to start, plus benefits, 30% above minimum wage for minimally productive unskilled workers)

Guess what happens if Walmart pays more and raises prices? The people who shop there with FOOD STAMPS get to pay higher prices. How's that gonna work for them?

At least people with jobs of any kind use food stamps as a supplement, not the entire food budget
