Paying people minimum wage is "corporate welfare"? How so?

Because the alternative is the taxpayer winds up paying for those workers’ healthcare, food and housing (Medicaid, SNAP and Section 8 vouchers).

You're forgetting the alternative where the person ends up getting unemployed instead, in which case the taxpayer pays 100% for those workers’ healthcare, food and housing.
