    So does Walmart.

    Minimum wage should pay enough to live a minimum life. It doesn’t. Not even close

      Walmart is especially egregious because the SNAP benefits that subsidize their employees’ wages are often being used at Walmart. After all, if you need groceries why not pick them up at the store you work at after your shift?

      So not only do they not pay their workers enough by letting taxpayers subsidize wages, some of that taxpayer subsidy goes right into their pockets.
