Get government out of business?? I think it should be the other way round. Get business out of government.

Government has a place in prescribing how business is conducted. Without local government zoning for businesses your cities would be pretty shitty places to live. Light or heavy touch is the contentious point.

The bigger problem is that businesses by and large control America. Sort that problem out, complaining about government pushing business around is laughable.

Living in GA, big business serves as somewhat of a beachhead against it from becoming another Mississippi.
