Not sure net income would tell you that much either. Many companies deliberately keep net income low by reinvesting in further growth. Think of Amazon's model. At least revenue gives you a sense of the upper limit.
But revenue has even more issues. You’ll end up hurting low margin companies the most.
If my company transacted $1T in some boring business model that netted a few million to the company coffers and employee pay then fining me on the $1T would simply wipe the company out many times over
Agreed, fine on net income is meaningless it just mean it won't hurt. Should be at least 10% of revenue like antitrust tend to do, this would make anyone think twice.
