Over here in UK, the Government is just as bad as the CEO's.
Their incompetence results in them taking and spending far more of our money than is necessary, and they destroy the wealth-creating sector by introducing stealth taxes because they promised not to raise income tax. (like stopping pension funds from reclaiming tax on Dividends - resulting in reduced pension fund values. No-one notices until they come to draw their pension)

They have also introduced licencing rules which will result in far fewer venues for live music (Probably not allowed to pipe at that funeral without applying for a licence 6 months in advance..)
