Quote:Is it fair for a business to be located on a publicly funded road, buy water, internet, electricity and sewage disposal from public utilities and deny certain segments of the public access to their product or service?


Before you answer, remember usage fees for most of those services are paid for by the business owner, but the price is subsidized by public tax revenues. More important, he cannot run a successful business without each of those services.

It has to be since using public utities isn't optional. The state holds monoploy on roads and utilities so that can't be used as a qualifier against property rights. Besides just because your home is on a public road and uses public utilities subsidized by tax payers does that mean I should have equal access to your home? Of course not, so the only real qualifier your using is the business asspect of it. If it's a business we ignore their property rights for the sake of fairness.
