14. I didn't make my point very well. I agree NAFTA and TPP are hostile to labor, and other factors

which put the U.S. at a disadvantage. My point was I don't think the motivation of the Democrats was to hurt labor, though they certainly knew it would, and did, but rather it was the influence of big money from certain corporations and ideologues to maximize their profits at the expense of the American worker.

I know it is a fine point, but Congress, including some Democrats effectively take bribes, which actually in a way worse than "taking revenge against labor", because it means they don't stand for anything, and don't really have convictions.

A perfect example is what is happening right now with the Iran nuclear deal. Senators are being bribed heavily to oppose this deal by various lobbying groups. Hopefully, there are enough Democrats that cannot be bribed, and will allow any rejection of the deal to be vetoed.

The same thing goes with labor issues, except it is much more difficult now because of the President's support of the TPP, which the republicans were all for, so the Democrats who would vote against it, wouldn't have enough votes. Maybe my pessimism is wrong, but until we elect representative who are working for the people, it is going to be a long road
