We Subsidize Corporate Welfare

So many large corporations boast record profits year after year while recommending public assistance programs to their own employees, food drives and seeking public donations because they don’t pay their own employees enough to afford food but want everyone else to feed them, create pamphlets for employees instructing them on how to apply for SNAP, TANF, WIC, SSI, etc. because they pay poverty wages.

I want to see data about the amount of money employees of these corporations are forced to receive from public assistance compared to their astronomical profits, assets, and inflated executive salaries. They are taking advantage of us and pocketing the cash for themselves. Without these programs, they wouldn’t be able to pay below-poverty wages and still have employees. How is this legal? It’s a scam.
