I do acknowledge that most businesses do not have the research and development costs that are incurred in the medical/pharmaceutical industry... But I also have read that citizens of USA have had to bear the bulk of these front end R & D costs when these pharmaceuticals come to market. The rest of the world does not pay anywhere close to the costs for pain killers and other drugs that we have to pay in USA.

Try checking out “Forbes CEO Compensation” at Google, for what CEOs of some of the big pharmaceutical, medical services, etc. companies are getting paid.

And you also read that pigs can fly - you better keep an umbrella with you all the time!
