Gianna Miceli argues that business owners don't actually control their enterprises. If the government mandates a new license or raises taxes, you comply or close. Economic activity depends on governmental permission, not owner autonomy.
And I bet you walked in here today thinking you were in full control of your business and your money. But tomorrow, if the government says you need a new license for your business, you're getting it or you're out of business. If they say your tax rate doubles next year, you're paying it. Now, that is not being in control of your money and your business. That is the government giving you permission To conduct economic activity.
To conduct economic activity.
