Far too many GOP are coporatist crony capitalists themselves. This is why they want cheap foreign labor regardless of how it hurts the US job seeker and job holders.

“Republicans” and “should”...maybe those two words ought not be used in the same sentence.

A much better long term solution is to devise an unpublished formula for the division of companies that become too large and too powerful. It has a much deeper rationale than does antitrust law.

1) CATO Institute speculates that when corporations reach a certain size, they self destruct, so should be allowed to do so naturally. However, such companies fight to stay alive and prevent collapse, corrupting politicians to vote them favorable laws, etc. Then, when they do collapse, they cause enormous damage to the economy.

Instead they need to be gradually divided, which reduces the harm the division causes.

2) Multinational corporations have been playing fast and loose with national laws and taxes for too long. So a law of this sort would say that if a corporation has a sizable presence or market in the US, it should pay a concomitant portion of taxes for that portion. Otherwise, it will be subdivided so that its US subsidiary is the only portion through which it can do business in the US, as a wholly US registered company.

3) Investments by US corporations in unregulated markets such as derivatives must still come under the regulation of the SEC, and prohibited from investments that exceed their entire capital formation. This is done to protect the US economy being exposed to tens or hundreds of trillions of dollars in capital losses.

4) The law must take into account the break up of oligopolies, monopolies of several corporations that have close to total control over markets. Examples include the MSM, trucking companies, software companies, and several other industries.
