Politics: Is this the Conservative idea of an American hero?
Martin Shkreli recently led his company to acquire a drug most commonly used to treat aids patients who have no other option for their well being. At the time of its purchase the drug cost was roughly $13 per pill which Shkreli's company raised to over $700 per pill. Making absurd amounts of money off the dying and helpless, sounds like a Cons wet dream.

Why would you think that conservative would embrace a guy who got away with what he tried simply because of the morass of regulations that created circumstances in which he actually possessed, almost by government fiat, a monopoly on the medication? You mouth breathers amuse me when you think his publicity stunt makes Conservatives look bad. You people created the circumstances which enabled him to do what he did, and you turn around and call him a conservative hero? Reality check, progressive micro brain: Conservatives understand that people look out for their own self interest, and model our worldview expecting it, while you guys fool yourselves into thinking that human nature is what you wish it was, not what it actually is, and then act surprised and indignant when it turns out people really are out for themselves.

Martin Shrkeli donate 33,400 dollars to the Senate Democrat election committee, according to Moveon.org a far left organization formed to help Bill Clinton avoid being impeached and removed from office for committing perjury while testifying to a grand jury. http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/democra...
So no, most cons would not consider a man who made campaign donations to a bunch of communists to be a hero

Plan as day he has found a way to profit from Obamacare. Sounds just like a liberal elite. Find a way to game the system and have tax payers carry the burden. Of swelling his bank accounts.
But, don't be surprised simply because he's chosen pharmaceuticals. Instead of the usual liberal wealth building practices. Like real estate and federal housing.

So all I have to do is dissect that pill, and I could shrink the price to $50 per pill, make a killing, and be a liberal hero?
Does anybody know a pharmacist for hire?

Yes because for conservatives rich people making more money is more important than curing people of life threatening illnesses

Many of these drugs are disappearing because they are not making money. I agree it sounds absurd, but educate yourself before making a judgment. Otherwise, read all of the facts and NOT JUST NEWS SOUND BITES!!!
