Cory Booker Will "Pause" Fundraising From Big Pharma Becaue It "Arouses So Much Criticism"

88. Corporate donations to campaigns need to be banned, period.

The first thing we need to is get rid of Citizen's United.

Secondly, it's disingenuous to claim that he is talking about money he receives from people who happen to work to drug companies or any other. That's way different than companies essentially forcing their employees to donate in their names and then bundling it.

And, Sen. Booker, it's not the criticism that's the problem, IT'S TAKING THE DIRTY MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE. Because then you do their bidding, if they pay you enough. It's a perfectly legal, though disgusting, way of buying politicians. And Booker, we know whose bidding you do. We are not fooled.

Finally, drug prices are too fucking high. Period. These companies do virtually none of the work themselves. Almost all of the basic science is done on the taxpayer dime and as such needs to be priced according. Fucking vultures, that's all drug companies are.
