7. Oh goodie! Now China gets to set the rules for the Asian market, and Americans can look forward to

paying the price! Real smart there.

This is why the anger against TPP was totally unfounded - but well propagandized by pro-corporate M$M - from an American worker's p.o.v. The stronger rules in the TPP would've protected foreign workers from being exploited, would've held countries accountable should workers try to join a union (and are currently being murdered for it - with impunity and no recourse), and a whole host of other laws that would have protected our environment and such.

But supporters of President Obama, who trusted him to always stand on the side of workers, knew this. Those who couldn't bring themselves to trust him but rather swooned for the louder Senators from Vermont and Massachusetts, were against the TPP while not bothering to read it. GOP smiled. Billionaire corporate heads smiled. Propagandists propadized against the TPP.

Great goin' there, America. Slave labor across the globe will continue, and corporations will continue to send jobs overseas cuz they'll work for a few dollars a day, fattening their bottom line. And NAFTA is still alive and well and UNchanged, while those who railed against the TPP are not strangely silent...until shit hits the fan, and it will.
