Notice how half the people in the country (bottom 50%) are only paying 11% of the federal tax and the top 10% are paying almost 60% of the federal tax?
Lots of pharma jobs are "good jobs" where the employees pay a lot of tax. Sure you want to dismantle that?
Basically the only reason pharma "works" is because some of the smartest people are willing to work there for big pay, and people are willing to risk investment in hopes of big profit if a necessary drug can be invented that can be sold for big profit.
No big reward, no medical advances. Smart and rich people will never waste their time for normal wages, they can do better.
If you and I had their skills or money, we wouldn't bother with normal wages either.
