  • Some Liberals at DailyKos challenged my take on the evils of Big Pharma: Those who are not in agreement come in two major spheres. (1) Pharmaceuticals have a purpose but need to be regulated more strongly to make prices more affordable. (2) With all of its flaws, capitalism is the only solution when other economic systems from around the world are compared. I disagree with both statements factually. (1) Wile our indoctrination would have you believe that drug companies take significant risks to create drugs and, therefore, their obscene profits are justified, the reality is different. Corporations do not take real risks. Most of their risks are offloaded in many forms. Drug companies don’t attempt to work on a drug until Universities and federal grants prove initial viability. The fact that they spend more on marketing than R&D is probative. Worse, all companies write off losses on present and future taxes, and as such, any risk is socialized. (2) I believe in free enterprise. Capitalism is a fraud. It is nothing but antiseptic slavery and, in some instances, worse because the source of labor is no longer capital and thus disposable, as the working class has seen over the decades. That we do not see better systems come into the fold is that we suppress every instant around the world where it is attempted. We have been indoctrinated for too long, and we need to take the blinders off. Our economic system is working as designed, as the outcomes we said would occur are happening in real time. I am willing to have a serious and civil conversation with anyone on my radio program who would; like to discuss this with a wider audience. Hit me up, and we will arrange a recording for the public at large. [More]
