First, we're rotting? How so? Seem to be doing pretty good from where I sit, almost 30% of the world's GDP and all.

Second, it seems you know just what the appropriate ethical markup for medical equipment is. Care to share it with the rest of us? Is like 10% okay enough but if you mark it up 20% you've crossed some kind of numerical moral line? I've never heard such malarky, but I'm open-minded. Maybe there's some fancy formula for how free trade is supposed to work with life-saving equipment. Got one? Or are you just posturing?

I find some of these comments extremely fascinating.
