Pharmaceutical interests wins in Big Government Europe. Many like Big Government so that Big Government can regulate Big Companies. But just the opposite just happened in the EU. Here is Daniel Hannan's exposing of this destruction of local solutions and competition via Big Government regulation at the expense of possible natural remedies for the sake of Big Pharmaceutical. All this against the will of the people at the tax payer's expense of those same people. Unbelievable. Big Government sucks...who but knows that there is a natural remedy to issues we have that may be much less expensive than pills? Apparently, the answer to that question will not be coming from Europe if the EU continues to have its way.
I thought this video from 1976 Nobel Prize winner for economics applied here.
I would just add and tweak Friedman's argument that it is not greed that the world runs on. If it were all would come apart. Actually the countries that are productive tend to reward productivity. And if a country is responsible with its profits produced by productivity than that country has more to invest in the future with and become more profitable and productive. See these principles laid out in Matthew 25:14-29 as Jesus describes how his country is to be ran.
I would also add that the nation whose God is the Lord will tend to be more responsible, productive and therefore profitable. This our forefathers believed and many presidents after them. See One nation under God and what does it matter? and Cartoons and charts exposing economic consequences for America's straying from our "In God we trust" roots and label American Remembrance. It is no accident that the free market came to fruition under a largely Christian and Protestant nation believing in the priesthood of all believers that whether we eat or drink we are to do so to the glory of God let alone to be productive. See BBCNews: Communist China is currently studying protestant Christianity for secrets to economic success and Chinese President Hu Jintao added the word "religion" to the communist party constitution!!
President Reagan once said at a prayer breakfast in Dallas: "America needs God more than God needs America, If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under."
