Corporations that pay employees below subsistence levels are indirectly bailed out by food stamps programs. I wouldn't depend on them for moral anything.

>Corporations that pay employees below subsistence levels are indirectly bailed out by food stamps programs

I never understood this argument. How are the corporations being "bailed out" in this case? The employees need sustenance regardless of whether they're employed or not. If anyone is getting "bailed out" it's the food stamp programs, because the programs are means tested and receiving income from employment reduces the amount of funds that need to be handed out.

Food stamps are a handout to Ag, not Walmart.
