Who determined that the NSA and TPP are the most important issues?

55. It will be if people ignore it. Which is the answer to your question. Why is it so important now?

Because if we all shut up and just wait and see, it will be passed and then all those issues you are concerned about won't stand a chance.

Why eg, doesn't the president and the Dems propose to end subsidies for Corporations that take jobs out of the country?

I could go with that and talk about it endlessly, support him passionately, make calls, send emails, sign petitions whatever it takes.

That would take away some of the incentive to send away the jobs of the working class.

And why don't the Dems propose raising taxes on the top percentile until they are paying their fair share, even higher if they take jobs out of the country?

THAT would get people talking and acting.

But what we are seeing is a push to pass a trade agreement without anything in place to prevent the moving of jobs out of the country UNLESS we are willing to work for the same amount as third world workers.

Why don't the Dems propose that any US Corporation that uses foreign labor must abide by US labor laws?? That would get people on board to help get it passed.

But if you think people are going to just 'wait and see' silently while their jobs get sold out by a law that was written by Corporations, some even foreign, for Corporations, you are going to be very disappointed.
