I would run a business and not worry that the government would come around and tax me out of business. That would be nice.

Haha! This is a good one. How could no one have noticed the irony?

That's the dream, to be able to operate a free business where you don't have to fight to make a profit. Some might argue though that the way America encourages innovation is through fierce competition. More people fighting to make money makes a higher quality of business. The problem with that concept is that the government is full of incompetent crooks who turn a few million a year off their circle of glory-jerking speeches and book publications after spending several years in office making the rich richer. I don't understand how people can stand against libertarianism but have no practical solution for these crooks.

Governments often have policies that make it much more difficult for businesses to succeed. That is true. I don't think it means, though, that the lack of taxes on businesses would actually mean you wouldn't have to fight. Presumably, all business would be on a level playing field. None of them would have to pay taxes in this hypothetically situation. They would then still compete for business. The prices would just be a lot lower. Maybe I'm missing something. Could you explain how this wouldn't be the case?
