"Merchants of Death." The Big Three lobby groups highlighted by this 2006 dark comedy, where Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms vie for the most deadly lobbying interest. I don't think it's an accident that Big Pharma was left out of the Merchants of Death club. Given that the body count it's responsible for exceeds the entire Big Three - combined.

Ban Smoking!

Ban Guns!

Ban Alcohol!

Mandate Big Pharma!

Not an accident.
