Governments use tax to change behavior

Securities are never immune to the interference of central government. There is a saying among financial experts that you can work out the policies of a government by looking at the tax code. Those who participate in the securities market are not immune to this truth.

If the government so wishes, it can completely crush a certain sector of the securities market. The big bosses know this and so they make sure that they do not do anything to jeopardize their relationship with the politicians.
