I do believe the rich and powerful do have a leash around many governments, and so do the average person as that is how the government is often voted in by appeasing by populist policy.

However I doubt the rich and powerful have a requirement to cut food stamps. Again this isn't a rich man driving policy it is a government deciding where funding is going.

Big Agriculture actually seems to be pushing against food stamps. There's been a fair amount of talk how the funding is going from food stamps to corporations in the food business.

I'm not really on top of this particular strain of politics, but I turned up stuff quickly when I googled "Big Ag" and "food stamps" in various permutations, so you can find your own credible sources without my bias.
