Ring of Fire: TPP Sale Echoes Broken NAFTA Promises

[GoLeft TV]

In the 1990’s, Americans were promised a future with better wages, more jobs, and greater freedom in purchasing products and hiring workers. That future, we were told, would be made possible by a little piece of legislation known as NAFTA. The reality of NAFTA is far different than the rosy picture painted for us by the Clinton administration.

We’ve seen a decline in worker protections, hundreds of thousands of jobs shipped out of the country, and stagnant wages. But still today you can hear those exact same talking points being thrown around by the Obama administration as they sell us the Trans Pacific Partnership.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins and attorney Howard Nations explain this.

1. I believe I would rather the pushers of this thing just say Fuck you! Nothing you can do about it!

than read the condescending and misleading excuses for it, or the exhortation to wait until it is passed (and passed is the right word for this POS) before anybody criticizes it. This really is NAFTA on steroids.

2. Sanders and Warren both writing articles against it.

We need public to get involved and say no to the TPP!
