TPP = 650,000 Jobs? Umm, no...

5. Being "more productive" in our jobs hasn't gotten us larger salaries...

All it does is allow them to get more work for us for less and have less people working when those who are are made harder working slaves. The wealthier management and ownership class claims THEY are responsible for the greater productivity and therefore they deserve ALL of the increase of salaries and profit distributions from corporate profits, and not us, even though in many cases it is the underpaid engineers who are in some cases responsible for helping with productivity gains if anything, not their management!

All TPP and other free trade deals are doing is moving more jobs from Silicon Valley to Bangalore, Michigan, and many other types of jobs to other parts of the world where they can help increase the depths of a bottom that the corporate class can race to in exploiting to fatten their wallets on a temporary basis, until the world economy crashes when even more people can't afford to put more money in the economy when they reach debt limits. TPP protects a new "governing class" and "governing body" to throw out democratic rule and government regulation everywhere, leaving us down the road little or no other options than extremely costly in all ways more violent revolutions rather than peaceful democratic revolutions.

If the 1% likes what happened in less democratic revolutions, they must be looking forward to the events of the French Revolution being repeated again. Do they REALLY want that? That's what they have to start asking for and stop focusing on their addiction to stealing the world's wealth from all of us!
