I wonder, should large companies be required to go public once they grow beyond a certain size? Does private ownership reduce transparency and accountability? Are privately held companies more likely to be secretive "evil corps" like Koch and Cargill?

Maybe, but how would you achieve that in a way that a company can't evade the criteria? A company can split up and diversify its operations across multiple companies but still operate as one. FTE count, annual revenue, amount of offices, etc. are all things that a company can have direct influence on.
