Reply #57: Big difference between the UN and WTO

[no name no slogan]

Kucinich is not an "isolationist" on trade, as so many want to paint him. He simply thinks that trade agreements should be negotiated in the best interests of the CITIZENS of a country, rather than the CORPORATIONS who try to control the country.

The WTO is an unelected body headed by the controllers of the worlds largest corporations. The UN, OTOH, at least represents the GOVERNMENTS of the world, many of whom are democratically elected by their citizens.

The purpose of governments is to protect and provide for the well-being of their citizens. Corporations solely exist to make a profit for their shareholders.

Corporate control of governments and trade processes is dictatorial, and undemocratic in the largest sense of the word.

Kucinich still favors immigration and international trade. However, he believes it should be used to benefit the PEOPLE of the world, not its richest corporations.
