Re: Diseased economy
"In fact, as I've stated before, the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the United States earn more money than the remaining 490 Fortune 500 companies"
This statement does not state that the pharmaceutical companies are in the top 10 fortune 500. Nor does it imply that any one of them earns more than the remaining 490 companies... it does say that they do earn more put together than the remaining 490 though. I DID NOT go through and add this all up for in order to be thorough, I would have to investigate the owners of each fortune 500 company and include all of the fortune 500 companies owned by as a child company or pharma parent company that may not actually BE directly named and I do not have the time. For the most part, Mike Adams and his investigative staff are very responsible with their reporting.
"The notion that the economy would collapse if all of a sudden we discovered cures for diseases is bunk."
This is not necessarily "bunk" if you do the math. Collapse, may be a little harsh, but hundreds of thousands would be displaced out of work or need to move into other industries globally, which would cause a huge world wide market correction lasting years.
I think your post is misleading...
