Corporations don't "cause low wages". Employers are able to pay the wages they pay because employees ARE WILLING to work for those wages.
If an employer can't find enough people to work for him, there's only one thing he can do: make the job offer more attractive (more benefits, better hours, increased wages).

There's nothing wrong with corporations
per se. There is something wrong with organizations (such as certain corporations) that commit acts of aggression such as forcing people to buy their products/services or using force to prevent others from entering the market.
There's nothing wrong with
greed. Greed is what drives every human being who has a job or wants a job. Greed is what drives every human being who by the end of the day wants to have improved his current condition. Greed is good.
The bad thing is aggression. The bad thing is trying to improve your own condition at the expense of others. Aggression is the violation of other people's property rights. Without absolute property rights, we'll return to pre-human conditions. Without property rights, we'll return to the animal kingdom where the strong eat the weak.
