Simple point......profits drive R&D for any company in any business.....the more absolute profit, the more absolute dollars for R&D. European and US companies both spend about 30% of their revenues on R&D. All US companies have huge facilities in Europe and it's not for cheap labor. The converse is also true. " The US market (according to the authors of that paper) provides for 48% of the world wide drug sales. " The US market does not provide 48% of world sales... US companies have 48% of sales in the US.... Your disproportionate argument is specious.....it's silly. How much of the world's energy do we consume with that 5% of the world population......28%....30%?
