Conservatives don't understand the full range of economic theory.
If businesses exist in successful cities and states, the businesses can be successful.
If a business is started on an island or in a ghost-town it is doomed.
The point you are missing is the symbiosis between infrastructure and the private commerce that runs on top of it.
Just think about where the profits of a business come from. Not a penny of their profit is made inside the walls of the enterprise. Every dollar of profit comes in off the street from somewhere else and is handed over for some good or service. Where did the first dollar come from?
The problem is determining how the wealth is created and distributed in a symbiotic economic system of public and private capital.
Societies create wealth. Businesses benefit from successful societies. The Republican shape our society has taken since Ronald Reagan has been a national disaster. The shape of our nation needs to change or we are doomed.
