TPP has strong regulations and enforcement provisions? Bullshit. Here's why... [View all]

[whereisjustice]

The USA let Wall Street steal trillions of dollars through racketeering and systemic fraud. It happened right under our noses.

Who was regulating Wall Street? No one.

And ultimately, who paid the price for the deliberate neglect and incompetence of regulators? Certainly not the perpetrators of the crime. They're too big to fail.

So, then, who was punished for the criminal indiscretions of our ruling class?

THE MIDDLE CLASS AND BELOW. WE PAID WITH OUR SALARIES, JOBS AND OPPORTUNITY TO GET AHEAD.,

That's who is going to pay for TPP.

Now the same people who brought us the largest organized criminal fraud in world history are crowing about all the great regulations in TPP.

Bullshit. You can put on a gas mask and the fumes from the TPP lies will still choke you to death.

Corporations send jobs to Asia because the only strong regulations in Vietnam, China, Indonesia, Singapore, etc are those that limit wages, individual freedoms and worker's rights.

The USA cannot afford to hire food inspectors to inspect the meat we serve children in schools and patients in hospitals.

We can't afford to regulate the money laundering fueling our corrupt election process.

We can't afford to regulate our off-shore drilling, fracking and nuclear power plants.

We can't afford inspectors for our failing bridges and other crumbling components of our national infrastructure.

We can't afford oversight of our police and prison systems.

We can't afford oversight of our corrupt health care and education systems.

We can't even oversee the CIA and NSA to prevent decades of violent war.

And we can't even get our largest corporations to pay taxes.

And our trade deals in China and India? We can't afford to monitor those either.

So how in fuck's name are we going to afford the massive regulatory infrastructure needed for TPP?

OK, it's a trick question. We can't. It will never happen. Not now, not ever.

The large corporate beneficiaries WILL NOT play by any rules. They don't have to.

President Obama has shown that there is simply no incentive for any corporation to do the right thing.

A slap on the wrist, a modest fine, you fire a couple of minions, give the CEO a 20% bonus for being proactive and back to business as usual.

TPP will bury future generations in debt and lost opportunity.

Once the damage is done, it will be impossible to undo.

Shame on any Democrat who shills for this corporate gift from hell.
