Sadly, for now, that's true. My solution hasn't been a negative income tax, though that's an intriguing idea, but rather a graduated corporate income tax, so that the larger a company is, the higher tax rate it is charged. That would encourage smaller businesses and overcome at least in part the advantage they have in their size.
