> If they weren't, corporations could easily split into several smaller ones to keep their profits below some threshold

I think we need to address this somehow. Perhaps by counting size by which actual people control and/or own the companies rather than the current arbitrary legal structure.

Part of the problem with corporations is definitely that they're a massive concentration of money and power, with no person being responsible for it. If every company was just a small business of one or a handful of people working together, instead of this artificial legal construct that concentrates power and assets with no liability, these things would be a lot easier. But then you also can't do the massive investments that corporations do.
