Because the money they make in salaries will go to government employees instead. They may be able to find jobs in the government, but they will be restricted heavily. Imagine having only ONE choice for your insurance company, and it is called the government (remember they took $700,000 million of your money through last bailout, the CEO salaries are miniscule in comparison) There is only one step from there on, the government telling you you can not fly to Bangkok for dental/medical treatment, but you have to have it done with the dentist THEY pick. Read 1984 by George Orwell it is a sad story. Why? Because the money they make in salaries will go to government employees instead.
