Bull. I'm responsible for my costs of production, not the taxpayers. And that inculdes things that go wrong, whether mechanical or human.

Now that's just an ignorant statement. OF COURSE you ask the public to pay for your broken employees!!
Do you take the cost of their disability insurance out of your own pocket? Of course not. That cost goes into your overhead. That overhead determines the pricing of whatever it is that you do or make. That cost is passed on to the consumer. So YES, we all pay for your disability insurance.
That's the same flawed logic that thinks that raising the minimum wage does anything in the real world. Sure the folks making minimum wage feel good for a while, until the price of bread and milk and gas and everything else goes up and then their dollar doesn't buy as much anymore.
