As if we haven't woken up to the fact that NAFTA amounted to a complete betrayal of the middle class they are set to do it again.

If you haven?t heard much about the TPP, that?s part of the problem right there. It would be the largest trade deal in history ? involving countries stretching from Chile to Japan, representing 792 million people and accounting for 40 percent of the world economy ? yet it?s been devised in secret.
Lobbyists from America?s biggest corporations and Wall Street?s biggest banks have been involved but not the American public. That?s a recipe for fatter profits and bigger paychecks at the top, but not a good deal for most of us, or even for most of the rest of the world.
