Walmart and McDonaldโs are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year โ over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M โ 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
