Weird argument but okay, then increase tax past say 100k/employed person in company of revenue.

Or tax on revenue once company becomes big enough. Taxing on income made sense to make investing into expansion a good thing, but those companies clearly don't need to be bigger, it seems to just make stuff worse and worse.

That would cover most professional services firms (eg. lawyers/accountants). I don't really see why they should be considered worse than a mcdonalds.

TSMC brings in 73.67 billion/year in revenue. Equifax only brings in 5.12 billion/year. Which one is making stuff "worse and worse"? Surely there's a better metric than dollar amounts, which totally ignore the financial nature of the underlying industry?
