“When government - in pursuit of good intentions - tries to rearrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interests, the cost come in inefficiency, lack of motivation, and loss of freedom. Government should be a referee, not an active player.”

— Milton Friedman

Socialism gives the government too much power. Take Kamala's price control idea for example. What would stop her from imposing strict price controls on corporations that tend to support Republicans and loosen price controls on corporations that donate to Democrats? Also keep in mind this same concept could be used by the other side next time they're in power.

Now I'm well aware This type of stuff already happens daily in the US but the more power you give to government the more likely it is to increase
