20. I have a question for you?

Dec 2014

How many good paying American jobs will the TPP eliminate? How many environmental laws will mean nothing if this travesty gets passed? The answer to both is lots and lots.

Eliminating tax benefits for moving jobs overseas and turning it into a major tax liability would definitely add lots of jobs, especially if it were joined with money for every new job added in America.

TPP is awful for all workers, for the environment and for labor laws - it guts them all unilaterally.
