Socialism strikes again. When you take away people's businesses and put government idiots in charge, they tend to drive them into the ground, because they

1) don't really know the business

2) there's no accountability - they aren't ruining something they spent 20 years building

And you drive the entrepreneurs out of the country, usually the most active people in the economy.
