(26,136 posts)Up or down vote against increasing the power of the 1% astronomically? That's a horrible thing when Dems and repugs unite to hurt the working class and environment of all the signing countries, including ours. The bottom line is TPP is now most likely law due to Fast Track, no changes can be reasonably made and congress is chock full of corporatists who will definitely vote for this. Other countrys' large corporations will have primary rights over our country's environmental and labor laws, how is that good that we can be sued for paying more to workers than China or Vietnam? We already under NAFTA lost control of our roads and emissions rulings when Mexico won the right to send their totally non-compliant pollution spewing trucks all over the US and we can't stop them.
I don't see any benefit in being an ostrich and ignoring the fire ball hurtling our way.
