1. This agreement is such a sellout to the 1% & corporations

I understand why the corporate media in the U.S. has kept us in the dark, but why the rest of the world is not lynching their leaders and burning CEOs at the stake is beyond me.

TPP may just be the tipping point that finally rips the scales from Americans' eyes!

5. It's the trade deal our government is negotiating in secret for the benefit of corporate profits

It has no protections for workers, consumers, environment, human rights, national sovereignty, or democracy.

It is being negotiated with an unprecedented level of secrecy. Even Members of Congress don't have the information they need. Even though corporate cronies from companies like Halliburton have been given passwords to access everything they want on the internet.

President Obama is the main person doing responsible for this. He is the decider

It will probably destroy the American middle class once and for all.

The major media doesn't talk about it for some reason I don't understand.

12. As long as portfolio values increase people aint gonna mind.

So what if the country, it's ideals, history, fallen defenders or future is disgraced, defaced & mortgaged for the luxury of the few now. As long as we can share in the profits and afford to fuel up the Excursion and grab a couple buckets of KFC to enjoy with Dancing with the Stars we will be blissfully unaware of our complicity or responsibility.
