In response to your question, if the size of a large entity is warranted, that entity has no problem. It very well might have a problem, or if it can pass the cost on to consumers, or on to its suppliers, or on to its workers (in reduced wages or benefits) than those groups might have a problem. Or, perhaps you feel our country has no behemoths which exploit our people and our resources beyond reason. I don't think being large equals "exploiting our people and our resources beyond reason". I do think that a heavy tax targeting large corporations in general will do more damage than those large corporations, in return for little or not benefit, or at least less benefit than is provided by large companies in many areas. Or to put is simply I don't think being big equals being bad, or being unreasonably harmful. Tim
