—”Add to your list a repeal of the Bush era extensions to drug patent terms. Better yet, limit drug patents to three years.”

Think again, my friend...

If drug companies only have a 3-year window to recoup their vast investment in research and clinical trials, there will be no innovation. Patents are property rights.

You sound like a Democrat who doesn’t understand free market economies.

Patents are not property rights. They are monopolies created by the government. The coast of bringing a drug to market is entirely due to over regulation and has little to do with actual R&D.

You sound like a Democrat who doesn’t understand free market economies.

You sound like someone who has no argument and has to resort to simple insults.

Since when do force and government monopolies constitute free markets?
Since when do property rights simply expire?
