Of drugs for severe illnesses and as a result of this work that i was doing on drug pricing in the United States looking at these issues, i eventually began to get more aware of the International Discussions about the u. S. Could do and what was happening in the countries in 1994, i was invited to argentina and brazil by people that have picked up my name as someone working on these issues and i really became aware for the first time the extent to which the United States and the state department and through the trade office and the whole apparatus of the Foreign Policy was putting pressure on the developing countries to extend and put in place monopolies on pharmaceutical drugs so wha a lf developing companies have excluded the pharmaceutical drugs from the patent system and you could buy drugs from argentina and others and at that point also from brazil and the u. S. Was pushing all these countries to put those in place but also going way beyond that. And i remember when i was at arge
It. , riding onu do cobblestones every single day, coming down rocks, over muddy terrain, fighting to get in and. Ut of your house an american chair does not work. It has to be tougher than what the gringos get by with. [applause] a few years later while working and washington, d. C. , i was asked to repair the many breakdowns of the wheelchair of an attorney at the Security Exchange commission. Manufacturehat the of all of our chairs was bragging to stockholders that the subsidiaries were dumping shares overseas. The socalled sports model with 750 in todays money in england. 2750me chair listed for in the u. S. That said it using these purchases was an illegal restriction of International Trade and should be challenge. He later became head of the equal implement opportunity commission. They ordered 10 chairs asking that they resent to washington, d. C. The griffin bell opened an antitrust investigation. That investigation moved very slowly until 1977 when ralph nader and Deborah Kapla

American experiences into American History. And i suggested kind of a little cameo appearances, pocahontas, indians waving rifles at wounded knee in 1973. Doesnt really help. And i think on sunday i said if we really did this seriously and effectively, we would come up with a very different narrative of American History.

There is a lie being spread around and most of us are drinking the kool aid. The lie says that all people are not created equal the lie says somebody has to win and someb
