VIDEO: What's bigger than the Oil Industry and costing more lives?

[TOOLZ]

What's bigger than Big Oil, overcharges you much, much more, is quietly even more protected by the Bush Administration, and you don't have to go to Iraq to die for their profits?

And then start asking questions of your family and friends. This affects everyone.

1. I would argue that

we are not being overcharged for oil in North America. For years, we have been paying far less than the oil is worth.

Get used to it.

2. I second that

How is it that water, one of the most abundant resources on the face of the earth, has cost more per then gas? The price of gas has been held low to keep our economy going.

3. YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT

Millions of Americans, possibly you and your family members, are being prescribed drugs which

-Are researched by drug companies under stacked testing results
-Get approved by the FDA which is run by a Bush appointee (who previously successfuly sued the FDA and won in front of the Supreme Court the right for tobacco companies to advertise within 1000 ft of schools)
-Then recommended in top journals like New England Journal of Medicine by doctors and researchers who are paid by the drug companies
-Then foisted on doctors along with dinners, ski trips, golf perks, gifts, food. clothes and more to get them to prescribe this drug, which is then
-Advertised relentlessly on TV with no oversight about the truth in their ads or warnings of side effects
-Then prescribed to YOU, the patient, at a cost of 7 times what they're worth, when you quite possibly don't even need it.

The Pharma industry makes a couple billion annually MORE than the Oil Industry.

They have more lobbyists on Capitol Hill than anyone.

Donald Rumsfeld was the President of a drug company for several years.

The Bushes still sit on the board of Eli Lily.

A substantial kickback to a drug company that heavily donated to Bush was written into the Patriot Act, though afterwards no one would admit who included the provision.

This is a non-partisan issue which is robbing and killing all of us.
