In reply to the discussion: This IS foreign policy: Obama pushes for TPP deal by November [View all]Dustlawyer
(10,499 posts)Elections and Complete Campaign Finance Reform! Why this response you ask? Because TPP is a perfect example of the Plutocrats using the politicians they own (almost all of them) to enact something detrimental to the other 99% of us strictly for their financial benefit. It is something Americans in General do not want, but will be shoved down our throats anyway because they can! This is another of many reasons why we MUST fight to regain our Representative Democracy back. Please forgive that over-used phrase but it totally applies. Our politicians do not usually listen to us, only pretend to, because we are not as important to getting them elected. The Plutocrats with their almost unlimited wealth are the ones that guarantee they stay in office with their legal insider trading (another quid pro quo John Roberts)!
Until we change the dynamic by electing Representatives committed to passing these absolutely necessary reforms, we will be victimized again and again.
