Yes, but they are a symptom of the problem, not the source. Big corporations are able to get so many more tax breaks, have a greater voice in politics, and are a whole lot more efficient than small ones. Small businesses have to compete with that so they use all the same strategies.
Even if you magically wave a wand, and big corporations disappear, small businesses would still do that. This has nothing to do with existence of the big corporations, but with incentives for businesses to sell more.
