Another way to look at it would be that corporate greed will take advantage of anything it can, and the only way they can take advantage of "human compassion" is if it is made mandatory and centralized and handed out with little to no oversight as to who actually needs it.
An individual with free will of where to apply compassion would not give food stamps to someone who is willing and able and actually working. Nor would they need to, as the business would be forced to compensate their employees in such a way that they could continue to return to work and not starve.
McDonalds will pay as much as they have to to get bodies in the kitchen, and they'll pass the cost on to the consumer.
The taxpayer is going to pay one way or the other. I'd much rather pay more for my burger than pay the government to subsidize their employees.
