50% of the Food and drug administrations funding comes from pharmaceutical companies. So yeah big pharma runs our government regulatory agencies.

That's because it's based on user fees. If you want a drug approved, you need to pay to have it reviewed.

Next you'll be telling me that car owners run the DMV.

If Ford and a few other large car manufacturers accounted for 50% of DMV funding you don’t think that could lead to conflicts of interest?
