The EU is planning a new, graduated #tax on companies with more than 50 mio Euro revenue, the wires say.

I see a lost #opportunity. They should tax the market capitalization of companies, not their revenue. This would create a direct incentive to split up into smaller entities, rather than buying up (future) prospective competitors to squash #competition, and getting larger and larger in the process.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

Competition, of course, like all other good things, can be carried to excess. Competition should not extend to fields where it has demonstrably bad social and economic consequences. The exploitation of child labor, the chiseling of workers’ wages, the stretching of workers’ hours, are not necessary, fair or proper methods of competition.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Message (1938-04-29) to Congress, On Curbing Monopolies

China is laughing all the way to the bank now that the "Big Beautiful Bill" has passed. Trump and the Republicans are taking the US back in time while China moves into the future. The US has given China a massive competitive advantage. #USPol #China #competition
