So don't tax the rich more. Tax the ways by which the inequalities arise. Create counter forces against market concentration. For instance, if there really were alternatives to desktop Windows and Mac desktops (from the hardware through to software levels) then computers would be more affordable and wide spread. That affordability has an income increasing affect on the customer side.

How would this be enforced?

My bet is once you're talking enforcement the markets are already concentrating. Maybe something like UBI? I don't have all the answers.
Maybe the federal government offers lower tax rates based on how many different states the company has a sizeable portion of its labor force. Ie near zero for being spread out everywhere.
