79. It doesn't place corporations above governments any more than than other trade agreement that

have been in place for decades. And that only applies when a country, who is party to a trade agreement, tries to disadvantage a corporation doing business in their country in violation of the trade agreement.

There's a reason governments are willing to sign these trade agreements -- They want corporations to come to their country and provide jobs and other investments. The governments know that corporations will go elsewhere if there is not some assurance they won't be disadvantaged by governments.

For example, BMW wouldn't have opened a plant in rural South Carolina where there are not jobs otherwise, without some assurance some government official wouldn't discriminate against them and not other automakers.

God knows we need better, socially conscious managers and stockholders, but we'd be in a world of hurt without corporations. Most of us would still be living on dirt farms -- praying for good weather so we can eat whatever crops we can grow, and the outhouse won't get flooded -- had it not been for Ford and other corporations.
