So far they have been mostly stopping what I want to be brought to life. Every time promising game developer gets bought then their games got watered down for mass appeal and ultimately becoming irrelevant.

That's the problem, there is no other choice! No matter from who you buy it always ends up supporting some billionaire, you can't buy TV from some indie company. The least they can do is pay fucking taxes from that profits. Individual taxes should be not main government income, corporate ones should be.

If they can have privilege of getting profits worked on by whole company the least they can do is to contribute same or more than individuals do to the budget.

Have you considered that some billionaire always gets a cut because theyre an important part of the ecosystem? Why is it you can't find a business stream without a rich guy there? Who do you think pays those construction workers to build the factory before it will ever produce a single dime of revenue?

You talk about billionaires and corporate taxes. You know billionaires are individuals, not corporations, right? And you know that they pay taxes? Also did you know that corporations don't actually make any money, the people that work there and own shares in them get the profit, and pay taxes when they do? At least the rich ones do, the not rich people who own these companies are people like you and me who have 401ks and pay no taxes on our share of the profits these companies generate, and that accounts for most of the ownership in them.
