We shouldn't be celebrating crony capitalism.  Regulations and taxes that are selectively enforced against smaller competitors to the mega-corps are not better than regulations and taxes that apply to everyone.
Right, and the answer is to end the regulations and taxes.

The problem with uneven oppression is not that certain people aren't oppressed enough.

So you don't believe in taxes? Personally, I believe in a flat-tax; whether you earn £20k or £20 billion you pay the same percentage of tax. Successful people shouldn't be penalised for making money (anything over 50% is robbery), but the poor shouldn't be raped of the little they have either. I believe in taxes for building schools, roads and hospitals etc; not laundering tax-payers money into large corporations and the funding the war machine.
