Odd that you specifically target profit making drug companies, to distrust while all the while trusting the rest of corporate interests.
If I though it was that simple, because not every study is funded by a capitalistic venture, in face, a great deal of research is not funded by what you would assume to be the 'interest' groups/companies.
I know its hard to understand, but because a study you disagree with isn't funded by your mortal enemy "capitalism" doesn't mean some independent study by a university or non profit research group isn't trust worthy.
But faced with evidence and facts, not like you'll change your opinion, we all have learned this by now.  |
I am not against capitalism. Capital itself though, is becoming monopolized in America among the big corporations, who get tax payer bail outs to protect their profits if they do bad business.
Because of this, the too-big-to-fails (as they call them) have much control and influence and are in collusion with the government and their institutions (like the FDA, Fed).
I don't think the free market is really as free as advertised anymore. Again, too many giant manipulators. John D. Rockefeller (Standard Oil) was famous for saying "competition is a sin". The big business uses free market capitalism to gain vast wealth, and then use that wealth/power as leverage to manipulate government into consolidating/monopolizing and in case of the Fed, even institutionalizing their businesses.
This is the part of the source of my distrust.
