The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
Itβs corporate greed. Itβs an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

βWho's going to take care of your child?β: Parents reel from Trump ICE crackdown
Republican policies are pushing a strained child care industry to a breaking point.
Parents scramble as Trumpβs ICE surge rattles child care. Centers draft lockdown plans after sensitive-site protections end. Immigrants make up 21% of the staff. Head Start checks status. Raids and fear thin hiring, block aid, and keep families from work.
