Ok so now 'business' is the same as 'politics'? The problem with tossing all these things into the same etymological barrel is that you lose the ability to communicate effectively about their differences. Government restrictions imposed by force are not the same thing as market realities created by private decisions. Business decisions are not the same thing as public policy crafted via the political process. It is true that business decisions can have public policy implications and vice versa. That doesn't make them the same thing though.
