As a genuine question, why are govts so protective of homegrown companies? Like unless they have a stake in them or have actually invested time and resources to build them. I'm no anti-govt guy. But if I want to sell my company I built without any govt benefits(TAX breaks go to all companies?) Then why am I not allowed to sell it to anyone I wish to. I know that companies run to govts for bailouts and other related reasons, but consider an ideal economy for +/- 20 years. I want to know the answer.
