I agree with most of what you said.
However, the taxation structure is highly biased on behalf of the established 1%....and always has been.
When mega corporations (i.e. employees) begin having the resources to retain a fleet of tax attorneys to pay zero taxes on trillions of income, it's an unjust situation to the small and medium sized businesses. They just can't compete on an equal footing to the mega corps who are a separate and tiered class of business entities.
Monopolies.
So does a monopoly fall under the rules of Darwinian capitalism?
Not IMO when it involves a legacy of preferential laws/actions/assistance/treatment funded by taxpayers and collected by the same government.
Two examples:
Health care costs would become a fraction of what they are now, if Canadian and Indian pharmaceuticals flooded the U.S. market at cost and foreign doctors were freely able to practice medicine here.
-Thus, the government AMA enforces a monopoly.
Transportation costs would become a fraction of what they are now, if the publicly-funded roadways were open to any vehicle and/or animals.
-Thus, the government NHTSA enforces a monopoly.
