Neighbors, Here is an example of cloaking corporate welfare to the pharmaceutical industry. When affordibility of new drugs is an issue, these companies point to research and development costs.
It's a lie. These drug corporations spend much more money on marketing (both legal and illegal)than on research and development. US taxpayers pay most of the costs of research and development of new drugs. The corporations take over when it is time to profit from drugs, and US patients pay full price without any benefit from the investment of taxpayers. This press release does not report this arrangement between taxpayers and corporate profits of drug pushers. http://www.philly.com/philly/wires/ap/news/nation/20110123_ap_federalcenterhopestospurdrugresearch.html Glenn ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
