Innovation? It's possible for people to want to improve mankind without making a buck. Jonas Salk refused to patent polio vaccine because he wanted it available to everyone. Maybe that's why money grubbing Republicans don't trust vaccines. It's not that vaccines are poison, they just don't trust someone who isn't into making a boatload of money on his discovery

The economy doesn't grow via innovation, the economy grows via increasing consumption.
