You don’t seem to care that the drug companies are the largest contributors to political campaigns?

Yes, I care that drug companies, like all other companies and individuals, are allowed to exercise their Constitutional right to free speech. Tell us why you have a problem with this right?

“Using their profits to create these drugs?” I hope you’re kidding!! Ask those drug companies to let someone else test their drugs and see how far you get!

Huh? Over the past two decades, nine out of every ten new drug discoveries have happened in the US? Why do you think that is? If profit doesn't drive innovation, what does? How do Luddites create anything without profit?

Independent labs test drugs all the time. It takes 13 years and $800 million to bring a NME to market. Why do you think that is? Is it because they've bought off all those politicians with those highly paid lobbyists? Sure. All that graft and the best they can do is 13 years and $800 million? Looks like they need to find some new lobbyists. ROFL!

You Luddites are really something.

Right to free speech? Is that what it’s called now? I have a problem with anyone’s money buying politicians.
