Price Of Essential Pharmaceutical Drug Increases 5,500 Percent Overnight

#92

Quote:Who said anything about corporations being beholden to the state? Again, you're taking one example and blowing it up into a blanket statement. If a corporation sells a life-saving drug and someone who needs that drug to survive can't afford it, the corporation should make it affordable for them to use. It's life or death, not "Bob wants a new car". Do you really value a corporation's IP rights over human life?


It's not a blanket statement, its a basic principle of property rights. You may believe the corp should do that, heck, I believe they should, but that is still short of "they must do that." Because, let's be honest, if other people had to do what I think they should then they don't have free will. Freedom means other people get to make their own decisions. And yes, I value that principle over individual human life.
