Most people would agree that decreasing business flexibility to respond to change is impinging on freedoms. I don't know about most people, but if subsidies and targeted tax breaks are your ideas of "increasing business flexibility" then I can't agree. If anything they decrease business flexibility (favoring one form of compensation over another disadvantages the other forms of compensation), and even if they didn't removing them doesn't impinge on freedom. This moves us away from a capitalistic system towards socialism Special breaks and subsidies for different things is the move towards socialism. Removing them moves us more to a capitalist system. If you wish to convince me that limiting rights is a public good That's a non sequitur. No one is talking about limiting rights.
