Bribes against public good

I know one way to cut drug costs, and therefore state debts and healthcare costs! Stop drug companies from spending $44 million to influence state parties, who have summarily balked at passing price reduction legislation. That’s a huge investment return for drug companies, and a huge burden on tax payers and people who use prescriptions. Meanwhile, drug companies are one of the most bloated profitable industries, like the oil industry, that is getting a break from the government at our expense. This shows why more than ever, we need a Democratic government.

Also, note that this was for the 2003-2004 election cycle, when Republicans received 66% of the pharmaceutical campaign contributions. Republicans currently get 68% for this election cycle.
