I think Sanders is taking a very level headed approach contrary to what the MSM tells us. He is well aware that profits drive innovation; but, it should not be at the cost of egregiously high prices and big pharmaceutical companies devoting HALF (yes, half) their profits to marketing schemes and lobbying policies.<p>I mean, if you have bankers telling what laws to pass for or repealing those against their interests in a democracy (which, I assume all of us want, or not?), then things have clearly gone too far.<p>As for libertarianism... My qualms with it is that if we woke up to a libertarian country (assuming you and other readers are from the US, which isn&#x27;t the case obviously; but, for sake of this argument we may assume that...) then any potential competition to the present powers that be (think Coca-Cola or... well you get the point, I hope) would face total annihilation from the unrestrained influence of such conglomerates. Anyway, my point is to get off my tangent is that the playing field isn&#x27;t level and definitely not fair.<p>Is Sanders a solution to ALL the problems we face? No; but, then again arguing with his closest friend, Chomsky, is a hard thing to do and I mostly agree with most of the REASONED, not ideological (that needs more emphasis), ideas that Sanders proposes, and they aren&#x27;t all that &quot;radical&quot; as the MSM says they are.<p>Cheers.
