Walmart who underpays its employees thus potentially making them need food stamps to survive -

Now gets another guaranteed revenue stream from their employees?

They are treating them as feudal slaves or sharecroppers who are stuck in a cycle and beholden to them with no way out.

I understand the need for 'business controls' and compliance around SNAP - but if we are going to limit it - take Walmart Employees out. Walmart should have to identify any employees whose families receive SNAP and give them a direct non taxable stipend for their food each week.
