People ask if I am a democrat, I usually say I am anti-corporate because I have worked in the corporation and have seen how it works at the top, bunch of brain dead crooks who like to repeat buzzwords as if they are from the bible. No new ideas, someone says something and everyone has to do it, the biggest longest lasting one is outsourcing.

governmental countries will still exist, these "trade agreements" are creating corporate countries who rule over the geographic countries. It is a corporate/plutocratic coup d'états (act of aggressive imperialism) of a large portion of the world's countries. It leaves in tact their hollowed out governmental structures to keep up the appearances of the former rule so the people do not become alarmed and protest. It is an insidious treacherous plan.
