who call you out on your BS. We don't need another fake free trade deal to trade with foreigners, we've signed dozens of them over the past 30 years, and they have been a disaster to working class Americans. Anyway, most of TPP is not even about trade but instead corporate scams to gain more influence over laws and regulations. Are you so delusional that you really believe the repukes and corporate crooks who cook up all these deals are doing so to help American workers and increase wealth of foreign workers?
