I dunno how i got onto the topic of pharmaceuticals.

The link I showed also breaks down the cost of R and D as a percentage purely by itself and you can see that it is quite small.

My cousin worked for Glaxo, and she told me that the guys in the labs are the worst paid of anyone at Glaxo. Ironic cause they are some of the brightest and most intelligent and the ones they depend on. Some big mouth Sales rep will make far more dough than the guy working 16 hours a day doing the research.

But let's just say this, "they spend a shit load on advertising".

And I hate the commercials they come up with, other than Viagara. (On a tagent has anyone heard about the third pill to give you a hard on, Leviatran, or something like that. It gives you a hard on for 32 hours. 32 hours!!!)

It's like BMW for example. $10,000.00 of the sticker price of every BMW goes to pay for the advertising.
