      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.
