Just to hammer this home in another way. If you increase the expense of doing business, businesses have three options, 1. go bankrupt (fewer jobs in this industry directly), 2. Pass on the cost to consumers (every other industry gets less capital from consumers…fewer jobs) 3. Leave the state (kind of like the first).

or 4.) Adapt
I mean, using your argument I can show that we should not have law enforcement at all because it increases the cost of business.
