Screw the Internet, this guy created the patent system

"People now take generic drugs and nutrition labels on foods for granted, but the laws creating them weren’t easy fights, either."

Wow. Thank goodness for Henry Waxman. If it weren't for his heroic leadership, patents would never expire. ("The laws creating them"? Where did he get that? Sunstein?)

Of course I understand, we all understand, the ease and pressure to call someone a Nazi, but the better metaphor--it's more than a metaphor, it's a description--is thug.

Presumably what Waxman means is there were government entities that prevented people from selling generic drugs.

No doubt.

Thanks, Henry, for all the fish. Enjoy your pension. You believe in Congress, indeed.
