Help me understand this: any attempt by the government to punish a business that misbehaves is just much, if not actually more, of an example of government interfering with business, according to this logic. You can bet your ass that the legal defense would raise this point, and would they be wrong?

A government without the power to regulate business activity has no grounds on which to punish them for breaking laws. What is a law but a regulatory instrument?
