This is false. We can, and we do. Antitrust laws are one example off the top of my head. There are probably others. The assumption that every actor has to pay the same price is false as well. There are countless examples for this.
Antitrust laws prevent companies from acting in a way to squeeze off competition. Small companies are also prevented from squeezing off competition. Anticompetitive practices are illegal regardless of your size.
That's funny but I'm not gonna argue on it. It's easier to give another example. If you want to get informed try finding laws that depend on firm size and be convinced if you do.
