9. The OP implied that Walmart pays lower wages than other places

I think that's true, but lack any real information on it. If so, it would mean that, predominantly, Walmart employees need food stamps - less than at other businesses - and that wouldreinforce the OP. If a lot of businesses are paying the same amounts, then people from all over need food stamps because of low wages. That should move the focus away from Walmart specifically and to the community as a whole. It seems to me that we also need to look at that.

So perhaps Walmart is driving the entire labor market down. It's important to know the whole story in order to address the right problem.
