Why do we have laws like seatbealts when we allow to make motorcycles that dont't have it?

People wake up and smell the hypocracy that our government does. No seatbealts on cars and you get cited but more accidents happens in motorcycles but they are an exeption. no drinking at age 18 but your an adult to go to war and kill. Smoking weed but smoking cig us good?

We get tax for having as much as 20 grand of any value but the heavy hitters get tax deductions and pay less in taxes than the less wealthy.

This is not minimum wage. Its another wording for slave labor to keep the rich even richer. Their is more than enough cattle to feed the world but instead they destroy the food or dump over seas if they cant make a profit at all.

Seat belts in enclosed motor vehicles were introduced to stop people being beheaded by flying through the windscreen or in the case of back seat passengers, having their brains mulched by hitting the back of the front seat. Motor cyclists don't have anything in their way to fly off their bikes and in general, escape injury better than their machines when they have a prang. Hope this helps.

A seat belt would be useless, or even dangerous on a motorcycle, and there are far more auto accidents than motorcycle accidents on US roads. The 18 and can go to war thing is a bit trite, since there is no mandatory service anymore. Tax breaks are available to everybody that takes the time to ferret them out.

If you think the great USA treats you so bad, move to another country. My guess you'll be back within a year crying with you tail tucked between your legs begging to be let back in.

What good would a seatbelt do you on a motorcycle. Think about it. There are helmet laws in some states, however.

Our lawmakers are influenced by the heavy hitters you talk about. Vote the scum out of office who accepts big "donations" from those heavy hitters.

About the minimum wage. Again, if you want a higher minimum wage, vote the scum out of office who keeps your wages law.

They say, who controls the purse controls the power. I disagree. People start using your brains quit voting against your own self-interests. Voting for politicians who depends on big donations from heavy hitters is not using your power to vote to further your own self-interest.

Wearing a seat belt on a motorcycle would not improve safety. Whoever you heard that from is likely either intoxicated or just naturally stupid.

The taxes that someone making $20K/year pays is vastly lower than the "heavy hitters" are paying. Whoever is attempting to sell you that line is merely trying to sow the seeds of discontent in you making you feel spiteful against anyone who has money.

The minimum wage is in place to prevent those people who are lower on the skills ladder and aren't worthy of the pay that the minimum wage requires from getting a job.
