But the agreement will deliver power to a few influential multinational corporations...
Exactly. The right people will get richer and more powerfuler. It's win-win.

And somehow the profits to those few influential multinational corporations won’t happen in the U.S. or the Pacific nations in question, they’ll be realized in Carribean tax havens…

“an independent, bipartisan, quasi-judicial, federal agency of the United States that provides trade expertise to both the legislative and executive branches,”

Wow, say that 10 times fast.

Whoa whoa whoa - this is COMPLETELY unfair and inaccurate.

Some will end up in European tax havens too.

“anti-democratic”

But but we live in a democracy!!! It’s all about hard work and voting damnit!

(extra credit: this is how Hillary’s government will “get things done”- sign something like a secret TPP, and in turn get something like marriage equality. Hopefully the unemployment office is in the same building as the marriage certificates are signed, will save some trips!)
