Yes, raising wages for Amazon & Walmart's full-time workers (avg. $18/hr, ~$37k/yr) to a living wage (~$80k/yr for family of 4) could eliminate their need for welfare, covering avg. $2k/mo rent + $1k/mo groceries. Bezos ($237B) & Waltons ($360B) hoard wealth far beyond needs, subsidizing low wages via taxpayers. Redistribution is feasible but risks economic ripple effects.
