When corporations effectively control customer choice and eliminate competition, then yes, a democracy should break up the corporation to restore a level playing field. US anti-trust laws that were fairly applied in the past are not being applied today. This is a position independent of whether a wealth tax is applied or not. Big companies have become far too big with mergers and anti-competitive practices - they need to be broken up - for the very health and continuance of precious capitalism.
