Bad idea ElM, to get rich and enjoy good health = just steal things. Tell the supermarkets to lower the price of food too or their food will be confiscated. Demand free or really cheap electricity. Bring back slavery. Down with profit.
No wonder Brazil is a third world thieving little hovel of a place with GDP per capita in the dunny. latin-focus.com Stealing is NOT a way to get rich [other than for a few lucky criminals who get away with it].
The ONLY way to wealth for whole communities is protected private property rights including the person's body and self-determination too.
<In its latest bid to reduce the cost of HIV and AIDS drugs, Brazil's government has threatened to break the patents of American pharmaceutical firms unless they share their technology with local drug makers.
Called "voluntary licensing," the policy is aimed at allowing government laboratories or Brazilian pharmaceutical manufacturers under government contract to produce generic versions of the drugs.
"To guarantee the sustainability of our (AIDS) program, we need to produce these drugs ourselves," Jarbas Barbosa, a high-ranking official with Brazil's health ministry, told Dow Jones Newswires in an interview Tuesday. "Even with recent price reductions that we obtained from drug producers, the total cost of retroviral (anti-AIDS) drugs is growing in an unbearable way."
The country has given U.S. firms Abbott Laboratories Inc., Merck & Co. Inc. and Gilead Sciences Inc. until April 4 to agree on a schedule to transfer technology for the production of some of their AIDS drugs, Barbosa said. ...>
Hey, Brazil could start a QUALCOMM. Give QUALCOMM 30 days to agree to a new licensing charge, at zero, or Brazil will just steal the technology. That would cut royalty payments and Brazil could be a big producer of CDMA ASICs.
No wonder you advocate "free immigration" for anyone. People in Brazil are dialing 1.800.GET.ME.OUT but getting an engaged signal. Sorry, we don't want to have swarms of Brazilians turning NZ into where they have escaped from. NZ is going down the thieving, murdering, government kleptocracy gurgler fast enough by itself, without any help from experts.
