This strikes me as a political song. For example, the "cold corruption" of the dealings with China, Mexico and other foreign countries, with the other option being starvation. They are paid next to nothing for hard labor: "The poorest work the hardest for the smallest." America is the butcher, and the hard-working underpaid foreigners are the victims. There are no doctors, no one looking out for the little guy. They "open up the gates for those who push them over," by doing trade with America, expecting more jobs to be helpful. However, America just pushes them over. "The wolf that comes to many homes these days just had pups in my kitchen. I sold them, and here is the money." In this part, the wolf would be the metaphorical corrupt system, spreading into our lives and homes (having puppies). Instead of avoiding it at all costs, we use the system to our own advantage (selling them for money.) This might not be what is meant, but it fits quite well.
