Pharmaceuticals and insurance industry are some of the biggest crooks in the US.

Ahh Motherjones, I'm glad you didn't pick what is known as the farthest left leaning source. I agree that insurance is crooks - when they don't pay out. However when they are honestly paying out, which is often, they are fine.

And pharmaceuticals are what has kept America's economy going, it is one of few industies we still lead in. If we start punishing them, guess what happens? I don't expect the Democrats to care about the portion of the economy that pays 90% of the taxes...
