The insulin story, a perfect example of corporations stealing the wealth of most of us

I used the example of Pharmaceutical companies inflating the price of insulin to show how our economic system by design steals so much from everyday Americans that it stops the ability of most to build wealth. Instead, it systematically ensures it leaves most without wealth.

PLEASE Listen to the entire video. We must get more in-depth analysis, my friends.

for free. Thank god we live in canada. Insulin costs a bit but not thousands and thousands of dollars. This reeks of right wingers doing the same thing as those who were trying to claim ownership of rain water in Bolivia. Maybe it is just part of an onslaught meant to panic Americans in so many different ways that people feel financial anxiety and thus vote more intuitively as the science says they will and less on the facts. Facts would include voting for their own economic best interest. Republican hate fact based voters. They like the financial anxiety..drug, student loans, bad healthcare, anything to put people into voting using cognitive shortcuts and feelings of anger. Anything to keep the middle class using logic.
