Not any more, but . . . let’s think about this . . .
You seem to be laboring under the mistaken impression that people who get SNAP benefits aren’t working. Please stop.
Glorydaze, you claim to want discussion and debate, yet you ignore every single point that does not fit your premise.
You misunderstand.
If you aren’t working, get off your lazy elderly/disabled/underaged ass and find non-existant work.
If you are working, you must not be worth much because otherwise your boss will pay a fair wage.
Therefore, no one needs SNAP.
Scrooge was more merciful.
I dunno; do you think he’s mustard enough credibility to do that effectively?
If he can manage to whip up a coherent premise, it’ll be a Miracle.
I hear that some people have been abusing their SNAP benefits to buy non-essential foodstuffs, such as condiments…
AND buying bottled water! What’s wrong with what’s in the ditch by the road? Are they too lazy to dip a bucket? 
I would like to see a cite for this - specifically that WalMart is the nation’s largest employer, and that 90% of their full-time employees are getting SNAP benefits.

That part’s easy: Fortune 500 | Fortune (Click the tab that says “Employees” to see that–at least acording to Forbes’ 2015 numbers–Walmart employs 2.2m people, over 5 times as many as the second-largest employer in the US.
My current employer pays more than Wal-mart, but we still have some full time people on SNAP (usually ones with several kids). It wouldn’t surprise me if a high percentage of Wal-mart fulltimers are receiving benefits.
Look man. Poor people need to rely on themselves. No one helped me when I lost my job and had to survive on nothing but my unemployment checks and food stamps.
Thanks. I assume that means 'private" employer. The federal government employs more people by a fair bit than Wal-Mart, but thanks.
Now for the other part - that 90% of Wal-Mart’s full-time employees receive SNAP benefits.
What percentage of your company’s full-time employees receive SNAP benefits?

Substantially. Per the US Office of Personnel Management, 2014 Federal civilian employment was 2.6 million, with another 1.5m uniformed military.
Yeah, not even sure if those numbers exist, but not digging for it. 
I find the claim extremely unlikely, though. Not out of the question, but unlikely.
I’d say a bit more than unlikely. The average full time hourly rate at Wal-Mart is $13.38, vs. a US national average full time hourly wage of $12.96. (Cite).
I doubt if even 90% of Wal-Mart’s part-time workers are on SNAP. But that is very difficult to determine.

I don’t see a cite for what percentage of their employees receive food stamps, but based on a study in Wisconsin, the average Wal-Mart Supercenter employed 300 people, who received in aggregate between $904,542 and $1.75 million per year in benefits (average $3,015 to $5,815 per employee). This does include food stamps, but also school lunch program, Medicaid, TANF, Section 8 housing, and other benefits.
Although it doesn’t pertain directly to the question asked, I would note that about half of Wal-Mart employees are part-time (cite), many of whom want full-time work, and your own source notes that part-timers average $10.58/hour after the recent big increase. (And that $13.38 is likewise after the February increase.)
Of course, that pay rate is only due to a raise effective Feb 20 of this year.
How many of these Walmart employees are living in a stable, two income household? These households seem to be a major barrier into descending into the very worst conditions of the working poor. It’s not Walmarts fault if an employee is a single mom raising three kids. Im not criticizing single moms raising three kids, but to blame Walmart for their poverty is just wrong.
More importantly what percentage of it’s employees are actually working full time hours? I thought part of their deal was more part time employees, because then no benefits, way less full time workers!
Everything. Yeah, what the hell. I’ll give that a try. Who do I talk to?
