The heart of the problem is that most People like Walmart

53. OP is pretty close

But it sounds to me an awful lot like the arguments in favor of rational government regulations applied to corporate citizens within a capitalist economy.
I agree.
Any person with an open mind should recognize the need to protect employers from being their own worst enemy by using regulations (rules of the game) to stifle the worst abuses represented by monolithic retail operations. We used to have protections for workers that wanted to help the employer to function as a good citizen by joining a trade union. Americans were smart enough to understand that empowering the workers to ensure that their voice is heard when the employer makes decisions that affect the daily environment of the work-place and the future of the workers and the surrounding comunity, was just a necessary application of American pragmatism.
The OP makes the point very clear that corporate citizens like Walmart will never choose what is best for America, unless they are forced to by regulations and powerful unions.
High national rates of unionization, a return to labor rights and powerful regulations are the only way to force bad corporate ciitizens to do what is right. The black friday strikes are just the begining of the push to re-establish common sense and fairness to the employment and economic landscape of America.
