Dutchie, I agree on your point about corporate officers hiding behind the corporate veil. I don't, however see anything altruistic about advocating that other people pay for what you value. There is also the matter of these drug company stocks being held by folks who are not fat cats. If you ask that their profits be forceably reduced and it is force you are advocating, remember you are supporting the confiscation of somebodys retirement savings. We have a problem with corporate officers compensation, but that needs to be addressed by the companys themselves.


"Let us suppose that instead of being slow, extravagent, inefficient, wasteful, unadaptive, stupid, and at least by tendency corrupt, the state changes its character entirely and becomes infinitely wise, good, disinterested, efficient, so that any one may run to it with any little two-penny problem and have it solved for him at once in the wisest and best way possible. Suppose the state closeherds the individual so far as to forestall every conceivable consequence of his own bad judgement, weakness, incompetetence; suppose it confiscates all his energy and resources and employs them much more advantageously all round than he can employ them if left to himself. My question still remains - what sort of person is the individual likely to become under those circumstances?" AJ Nock 1935
