I can’t remember where I heard this, or even the exact wording, but the sentiment is memorable as far as how government operates:

If it sells, tax it; if it sells too fast, regulate it; if it doesn’t sell fast enough, subsidize it.

Not exactly. It creates black markets, which are often not conducted in the absence of force or fraud and therefore not free.
