One wonders if Mr. Lazaroff would hire a crew of painters to come to paint his home and accept them going and doing political advocacy instead of painting while he is paying them for their time. Because that is what he is arguing for. In a business, there are some employees vested with certain authority and responsibility to determine corporate direction, including what political influence to apply (for the benefit of the business), and other employees who are not and have different roles. One could only accept the logic in the essay if one did not believe in that distinction, which would be a very peculiar worldview indeed.
