A corporate tax rate that increases with revenue would naturally disincentivize such monopolies/oligopolies (by making it easier for small companies to compete against them) without requiring the government micromanagement of deciding what is and what isn't a monopoly.

I don't think that'd work well: Companies would just split into smaller ones, led by the same people.

If I own 50 meat Packers totaling 50% of the market, I get taxed like one totaling 50%.

Cartels are already illegal.

Could you split them while retaining the aspects of the business that made them a monopoly to begin with?
