Could one company like wal-mart end up controlling america someday?

Could one company like wal-mart end up controlling america someday? What keeps companies like wal-mart, Exxon, etc. From say buying Target next and then using the income from that too buy another company and then the income from those two too buy more companies etc. etc. Soon you would have one giant company that could control most the American market right?
