Description[?]:
| WHEREAS the subsidization of any industry leads to innefficiencies in the industry, higher prices to the consumer, less original development of new product, and increased avenues of government control and corruption, AND the Pharmacutical industry in our great land has the potential of being one of the best in the world, thereby increasing our favorable balance of trade and bringing in increasing amounts of hard foreign currency, THEREFORE we of the RLP propose allowing the invisible hand to direct our research and pricing strategies, not the all too visible hand of the bueraucrats. |
