If a small business comply with KYC laws and gets breached, less than 1000 people get impacted. One would have to breach a million different companies to equal the scale of a single mega corporation.
Ok but how would that even work? When a company's product/service is good, then people start recommending it to others and more and more people start using it. The only way to stop companies from growing big is to force them to stop accepting customers after a certain point.
No. You just tax the corporations based only on revenue and make the tax rate an exponential curve. Instantly too big to fail becomes too expensive to survive. Thus the businesses will naturally split into smaller companies.
Then the big companies will just operate under multiple names to commit tax evasion like they already do and pay off the politicians to let them.
Well yes, but that is something that they can’t hide from their investors and that information is public and tax fraud is one crime governments will kill corporations for
