Well, the problem is: hot dog cart might be a great business, until you account for all the government regulations, taxes, stupid sanitary requirements, etc. severely limiting your earning potential. Things like that were much easier in late 19th/early 20th century US. Capitalism is a great system, the only thing that can break it is too much government involvement.
"Stupid sanitary requirements." Incredible. Motte and bailey argument. It's weird that "sanitary regulations cut profits too much" is the safer position you are retreating to.
It's funny that you're mad about taxes when every step of the hot dog cart business requires public infrastructure. Contract law, credit cards, the highways to deliver hot dog carts to Costco, the streets to take you to Costco, "stupid traffic safety laws" that mean your car doesn't explode on the way, the public areas you plan to sell hot dogs from, "stupid flammable gas safety laws" that let you cook them without exploding, "stupid food safety laws" that mean you can buy known edible hot dog materials, currency, a legal system that prevents people from taking your money after the sale. There is a lot.
Or were you going to run your cart using whatever you can hunt out in an unpaved woods and cook it on gathered firewood?
