Income redistribution has nothing to do with socialism. Capitalist countries do it all the time. Only in bizarro right wing land does socialism have anything to do with tax policy.

When you eat in a restaurant, you are potentially putting other people in danger. If the conditions in the restaurant are unhealthy, customers can get sick and die, no different than getting killed in an auto accident.

When you put people in a house you just built, you are potentially putting other people in danger. If the house is unable to withstand inclement weather conditions, or the walls are built shabbily and risk falling down, or the building is unable to withstand an earthquake, you are putting people at risk in the same way that drivers in a car potentially put other people at risk.

Thus, once again I could use your own criteria to make a case for health inspection laws and building codes.

I am sure it’s in the best interest of the restaurant owners to poison their customers, and for the builders to have their buildings collapse on their customers.

And I'm sure it's in the best interest of drivers to crash into other people.

Yet, you still thought speed limit and auto insurance laws were OK. Hypocritically, you don't think health laws are OK.

It’s such a disgusting miracle that the socialists aren’t universally spat out of here.
Enlighten us on who would first according to you. I have an idea, but I'd like you to confirm if you have the stones.

I do not. None of these laws are necessary at all.

It was not a defense.

We already have laws for wrongful death and harm. Why should traffic accidents be different? Why do we need speed limit or force people to buy insurance?

Being a Capitalist country doesn’t mean it has got rid of all socialist cancers.
