The kind of corporate-dominated, corporate-profit-driven economy we have now is just pushing money to a small class of very wealthy people at the top.

Even here in America, the number of homeless people is far too high.

The TPP will make it harder for people to overcome poverty and funnel more and more resources to the very few, wealthy people on top. That is why so many of us on DU do not want it.
