ok. While I don't disagree with what you want the end result to be, I think your path to get there ignores a lot of current day realities.

1. There are many reasons that large corporations exist today, some of it is borrowed money, some of it is market capture and non government intervention, leading to what are essentially monopolies.

2. The problem is that those corpos exist today, with near infinite money supplies and supply chains. Even if you increase the costs of them doing business, I don't see how a small business is going to compete. Let's face it, Amazon and Wal-Mart are so far ahead of the game, that the only way to break them up is direct government intervention.

I don't see how you can manipulate the market in any meaningful way to shut them down with increased labor costs. They frankly have enough money to cover that forever. You can't have a small business under pay employees and hope wal-mart eventually doesn't have the capacity to suck up the labor market.

3. Are you arguing for a removal of minimum wage for your last point? Employees and bosses should figure out wages - I agree - but this is only going to work in a vacuum (as of today). Because there is always the ability to ship in cheap labor from out of country, thanks to many legal and not legal venues.

Again, I think we're on the same page for an end goal - but the current market realities do not allow for this sort of utopian, everyone figures out what a job should fairly pay situation.
