” There must be a reason “
The socialist paradigm is that the more services you offer, the more people “ under your wing “, provides justification for increased government spending.
As that money comes in, you pass a portion on through cronyism.
Hence, this is how socialists increase their own wealth.
Unlike capitalists that provide products or services on the free market, socialists use the government to create a captive market.
Problem is all the producers either stop producing or leave.
