One of the main reasons that our federal government has the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) is because it helps streamline our free-market economy and allows the flows of commerce to prevail. Some of the reasons we take a census in our country is to give that information to corporations, businesses, and government itself to help them make better decisions. As a retired franchisor or founder, I often found misleading, bogus, and erroneous data in census reports. It always irked me because I knew it was taxpayer money paying for that data and all that research, including all the people out in the field knocking on doors.

Populist socialist presidents and leaders in history generally worked very hard to get in with the good old boy network, the merchant class, and the wealthy so that they have the backing to rule. Once in power, they often turn on their donors as they need appeal to the masses to stay in power. You see, Populist socialist leaders are rarely good at playing both sides forever. Initially, they realize that they can distribute the funds of the state towards the businesses of the merchant class to stay in their favor to continue their campaign contributions.
