They Don’t Want You to See TPP text! Demand to Here!

FK – Screw democracy. Demand Liberty. Some whining about this had no problem with the congress commies voting for commie care without reading it.

Everyone wants to enforce their version of authoritarianism.

White House site says petition is closed because it didn’t meet the signature requirements.

We’re gonna have to go up there, not packin’ signs.

The petition seems to have been shut down.

Trading Away Their Oaths

Senate Finance Committee backs ‘fast-track’ of Obama’s trade bill

FK – Did sanders vote on commie care without reading it?

Screw democracy. Demand Liberty. Neither the govt. nor the corporations should be allowed to treat us like jackasses.

FK – The American corporations(buy amerikan?) didn’t move their plants to other countries because they felt sorry for the peasants. They want desperate workers who will do or say anything to get or keep a job and tolerate being treated like jackasses.

FK – The one thing worse than being poor is being blinded by greed. Controlled greed is good. But it’s an addiction for many. Most who make money or are successful at business think of little else. I’ve seen this too many times.

Trade Promotion Authority Imperils American Independence

On April 16, a new Trade Promotion Authority bill was unveiled by the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee. These committees are expected to expedite this bill and report it out for a vote in the full House and Senate in the next few weeks. Votes on the bill could be delayed if there aren’t sufficient votes for passage.

President Obama had asked Congress for “fast-track” Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) so that he can finish negotiating and sign two trade “partnership” agreements, one with eleven Pacific Rim nations known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and another with the European Union known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

We consider the introduction of the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill to be a very big deal. Arguably the biggest threat to the continued existence of the United States as an independent nation under the Constitution is the Obama administration’s current initiative to negotiate and get congressional approval of the TPP and TTIP agreements. These agreements would put our nation on the path to political integration with the other nations involved in these negotiations and are being promoted by the same organizations that destroyed the independence of 28 European nations with the creation of the European Union.

And, since virtually everyone believes that the TPP and TTIP deals cannot be approved by Congress without a TPA bill in place, we must prevent congressional approval of TPA. We’re asking our members and all supporters of our national independence to phone their representative and senators now in strong opposition to the TPA bill.

Freedom, Where Are You? Not in America or Europe — PCR

American corporations discovered, and if they did not they were informed by Wall Street to move offshore or be taken over, that they could raise profits by moving their manufacturing operations abroad. The lower labor cost resulted in higher profits, higher share prices, huge managerial bonuses based on “performance,” and shareholder capital gains. Offshoring greatly increased the inequality in income and wealth in the US. Capital succeeded in looting labor.

The displaced well-paid manufacturing workers, if they were able to find replacement jobs, worked part-time minimum wage jobs at Walmart and Home Depot.

Economists, if they are entitled to the designation, such as Michael Porter and Matthew Slaughter, promised Americans that the fictional “New Economy” would produce better, higher-paying, and cleaner jobs for Americans than the “dirty fingernail” jobs that we were fortunate our corporations were moving offshore.

Years later, as I have proven conclusively, there is no sign of these “New Economy” jobs. What we have instead is a sharp decline in the labor force participation rate as the unemployed cannot find jobs. The replacement jobs for the manufacturing jobs are mainly part-time domestic service jobs. People have to hold 2 or 3 of these jobs to make ends meet. These part time jobs offer no medical or pension benefits.

FK – What party passed NAFTA and which president signed it? The ‘party of the little man’ and see the vid below.

They wanted desperate workers who will do or say anything to get or keep a job, show up on time and never ask inappropriate questions. They didn’t move their factories to Mexico and Asia because they felt sorry for the peasants.
