Congress should be treated with contempt by all people.
I understand that drugs are expensive. This guy is a businessman who is making a profit. If he is doing that illegally, they should actually prosecute him. But if all he is doing is running a profitable business within the confines of the laws, then Congress can go take a flying leap.
Hard to agree with this guy on that remark but I do. Another thing I noticed is how hard the committee went after this guy. He deserved it however, it's obvious they save their indignation and bipartisan ire against someone who is not protecting one of their own within the ruling class.
You should watch the video of the hearing. His body language is very telling. He comes off as a smug, arrogant POS.

Yes, he does.
So you are saying that he acts like a Democrat.
I realize this PUNK, this Bernie Sanders CHEERLEADER, looked like a total ASS...and probably is....
And not to give the smug arrogant jerk an excuse...but he is facing criminal charges and THEN gets brought before Congress?
ANYTHING he says would be used against him in the criminal trial. I don’t blame him for invoking the fifth.
And I don’t know the whole story about the 5000% raise in price on that drug....but I bet there is more to it than meets the eye.
Thoughts?
I was kind of expecting Cummings to side with the guy like he does every one else that the Republicans are picking on.
I agree, the little guy was a total schmuck. Smartass schmuck.
I wanted to smack him.
They could be brothers.
They could be brothers.
Hedge fund twins...
He raised the price of 1 pill 5000% if that is not greed, I don’t know what is
He sure does, I watched the video twice
Greed is not illegal.
I’m a Conservative. I believe in the marketplace. The guy is facing criminal charges. The people who wrote those laws are asking him questions. He’s a fool if he helps them in any way.
If a trial says that he’s a greedy guy who broke some laws, then he gets punished.
If a trial says he’s a greedy guy, he goes home like any American.
From all accounts, this guy is a cocky jerk.
However, he bought the company and can set the prices however he wants. If he sets them so high that no one buys, then he loses money.
The drug in question is off-patent. That means that any company is free to make its own version and sell it.
Market forces actually *do* work. Congress has no business poking its nose into the matter. This guy will learn soon enough that if he wants to sell stuff and get rich, he has to price it so people will buy it—no input from Congress needed.
