Equal rights for businessmen!

Why should everyone except the businessman be free to live their lives as they choose? Does not exempting businesspeople from the same concern for "civil and human rights" that we grant to minorities such as Gays, blacks and women make them truly "second-class citizens"? Does not the Equal Protection Clause apply to businessmen as well? Where is the concern for the freedom of self-expression of the businessman as well as the artist or scientist?

Hmmm . . . if the Equal Protection Clause can be used to abolish slavery and sodomy laws, can it also be used to abolish antitrust and government control of commerce?
