"I'm not sure why people blame Wal-Mart if their employees take food stamps"
Because that means that Wal-Mart is not paying their employees enough, which means that you and I have to subsidize them. I don't know about you, but it angers me quite a bit that one of the largest and most profitable companies in the country cannot pay its employees enough to be able to eat.
"This is really the fault of poorly-written policy."
How? How is not entirely the fault of the company that has complete control over how much they pay their employees?
"It blows my mind why people blame Wal-Mart and not the folks who developed the legislation of those policies."
Because Wal-Mart is entirely responsible for how much they pay their employees.
