We deserve the government we elect. We elect a government that is for the TPP because we want to sit fat and happy as the rest of the world does our manufacturing, as we use intellectual property regulations to subjugate the planet to our will via the MIC.

The American people don't want the tax loopholes closed, because it means that corporations actually have to pay their way, and prices go up. The American people don't want tariffs for Chinese made goods, because we want cheap labor to make our shit for us. The American people don't want to bring manufacturing back because they'd rather have cushy service industry financial industry jobs where they don't have to get off their asses for most of the day. The American people don't want fee and dividend because it means that we can no longer offshore our pollution to other developing countries.

The American people are the epitome of a dying empire, wanting to subjugate the world to our whims.
