80. I don't understand.

I'm not against trade, rather I support Fair Trade and trade agreements that don't overlook human rights violations and discourage a living wage.
I also support the Constitution and oppose a treaty that seeks to dismantle it and all sorts of labeling and regulations, especially that of GMO's. The Free Market only works properly by being as transparent as possible and that especially includes labeling. As for regulations I'm not interested in seeing our country head backwards on environmental regulations because it costs a company profits and they can sue us for that money according to the TPP.
What I'm hearing from you is "We live in a global economy and the sooner we recognize it and try to compete, the better off we will be economically". I find it unfair and ridiculous that I should have to compete with some worker in China getting paid .10 a day directly according to the WTO's rules. They should have to match our OSHA standards in the workplace and we should have to match Europe's. There's more but that's just a footnote.
The bottom line is that the TPP is a nightmare not just for the worker around the world but for those concerned about affordable medical care.
I don't understand you MohRokTah. Your attitude on the TPP is either blissful ignorance or you're a paid shill it feels like. If you're the former, read up. If you're the latter, you should be ashamed as giving Monsanto any leeway to push GMO's under a trade framework like this puts our species at risk I believe. I hope you will wake up if the latter and think like the Iroquois do for humanities future.
