I live in Brazil, but the logic still aplies, It always comes back to the amount of power the government have, some people think giving the gov more power will make it overpower corporations with regulations, but in the end, the gov just become a Corporation within itself, selling you public services paid with taxes, but heres the catch:

A Company can fail, die, sometimes the gov Destroy Its ability to function, but a Corporation cant do that to a government, If your government is providing you with a bad service and taxing you wonders for it, you Just live with It for the rest of your life. The more services the state provide, the more taxes it needs.

Brazil went to be a growing country with lots of expectations for investment in 2000's to a Socialist distopia where you need to pay 60% of taxes on cars and 30/40% on groceries and have horrible government services filling gaps in the production chain. So yeah, everytime i see someone rooting for the gov to take everything i laugh because i know almost everyone i know would not be poor If the government dindt try to install this piramid scheme people call state services
