So if you are happy with the drugs we have today, fine. Treat those life-saving morally bankrupt companies like the criminals they are by stealing from them the profits they deserve.

there you go with the speeches and straw man arguments again.
what were the percentage of profits the drug companies made during the 60s, 70,s 80s, 90s?
people habe historically invested in certain industries companies (blue stock) not so much because of the rate of the return, but because of the perceived stability and assured return...this was before greed became the norm and the driving force in our culture. people lose so much money investing these days that it is ridiculous. it's a cyclical thing. we've seen this crap before.
who said I didn't say drug companies don't deserve a profit?
you set up this false argument where you are pro business and for profit and others aren't.
even communist China defies your silliness.
Democrats and liberals ran this nation after WWII and the growth of American industry grew under then and was spurred by them.
The biotech and computer industries grew up in liberal strongholds.
Liberal government policies lead the way in helping start ups/incubators. This is before the venture capitalists step in.
