To make money. To control the markets.

The Chamber of Commerce, Big Business Lobbyists along with the likes of Walmart payed off politicians to hop in bed with Communist China where workers have been forced off their lands and moved to the cities to make widgets.

That is evil and your capitalist buddies supported it.
Very Evil.

Once again, if the government is not allowed to regulate the business, why would any evil capitalist bride any government officials?

Not if the government is NOT allowed to regulate the business.

Jeff Bezos stopped paying his Medicare tax at roughly 2 seconds past midnight Jan 1. Does that give us any clue about how to fix this problem? Hint: raise the current ceiling of $137,700 to $200,000. Bingo! Problem solved.

I should run for president, I'm that brilliant.

There is no cap/ceiling on the Medicare tax. You're not so brilliant.

Like when you go to an amusement park?

You actually don't know we didn't have a Federal income tax for most of Americas timeline? We had roads, bridges, schools and parks so I have no idea why you are saying what you're saying. It doesn't make any sense.
