Who else do you think will pay for them? We are all customers; we all end up paying for them one way or another. The question is whether you want to pay for the regulations that actually benefit you, or the regulations that rent-seeking organizations can convince the government to use your tax dollars to pay for.
Then what is your point? If safety regulations aren't going to be limited by what customers will pay for--either directly, or indirectly via taxation--then what do you think should determine what safety regulations we get?
