The Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Death of the Republic | WEB OF DEBT BLOG

The Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Death of the Republic | WEB OF DEBT BLOG: Something else besides attracting investment money and encouraging foreign trade seems to be going on. The TPP would destroy our republican form of government under the rule of law, by elevating the rights of investors – also called the rights of “capital” – above the rights of the citizens.

But as Joe Firestone observes, neo-liberalism and corporate contributions seem to have blinded the deal’s proponents so much that they cannot see they are selling out the sovereignty of the United States to foreign and multinational corporations.
