    And how does this work out? Do companies not lobby against safety or environmental regulations if it hurts their profits? Is the water safe to drink everywhere? Is medical care available to everyone who needs it, regardless of income? Does everyone get social security, even if he could not pay in because of health issues, accidents or other reasons that prevented him from working full time for 40 years?

      Wow really? Where did I say companies rally for anything. I said the government does that on our behalf but we have to keep a eye on them.

      SSI should be only for people that paid in.

        Let’s say im 25, on my way to work flipping burgers and some drunk driver crashes into me, leaving me disabled and i can no longer walk or use my arms. Should I just die because i have not paid enough into social security, i am no longer contributing to companies and capitalism and would “take away” benefits from other people?

        BTW great job on shifting the goal post; never answering the previous question and always coming up with new ragebait.
