Couldn't this interpretation be used to prevent people from doing ANYTHING themselves?

FDR has her beat on hating the constitution and daddy Bush gets the title of most qualified candidate.
Imagine getting fined for growing and consuming your own wheat I can't think of anything more antithetical to a country founded by a bunch of farmers.
