About 7 to 10 percent of sales are spent on R&D by Big Pharma. Can't find any info on expense break down except for that one, but I'd be surprised if advertising and salaries for top execs didn't dwarf that figure.

>Really, if you have no problem with George Soros making his billions off of currency speculation, you should have no problem with Big Pharma execs making "mere" millions off of life-saving research.

I abhor George Soros and I don't like the way he made his money. When have I ever indicated otherwise?
