  1. Business men are the head of huge factories, many of these factories pollute the air and water around residential and commercial areas. These toxic bi-products are a health hazard, so why is it unreasonable to think that the people who profit off the production of these factors should have to pay taxes for public health-care? If my factory made the air over your back-yard...and you breathed that every day...and eventually you got a lung infection, or you thought you might have emphysema, am I justified in claiming that your health-care has nothing to with me? Business men also own food companies that contaminate meat with growth hormones, to maximize profits, and put chemicals into many food products to make them look better, or to preserve them longer. Since it is proven that these hormones cause cancer and a majority of people eat the food products. Are those businesses justified in saying public health-care has nothing to do with them? If consumers must buy food from these companies, is it irrational to think that the public has a right to monitor and control what goes into those products?
