Wow Pippy,
What an emotionally charged rant! Here are a few things that come to mind when I sift through what you wrote.
Unions are an unnecessary drag on resources.
Large corporations provide value through leveraging economies of scale; tariffs hinder those economies of scale by limiting, through economic pressure, where corporations can reasonably source their inputs to production.
The system isn't perfect but we can make it better. The system will not benefit from the destruction of Walmart; only through focused policy reform can real change be attained.
What is wrong with purchasing inputs to production from the countries that have an over-abundance? For example: Labor in China, lumber from America, oil from OPEC nations, or potassium from Kazakhstan (I've heard that other countries have inferior potassium)? NAFTA brought about reform that facilitates benefits from international trade.
