We need to persuade a majority of Republicans or President Obama ...

...not to support another corporate give-away.

No business in America, small or large, is going to pay American workers a livable wage to make products they can make in Asia for a dime on the dollar.

Yes, America, may get these products at a slightly lower imported price but they are not going to create more American jobs. They are going to lose jobs and drive down wages.

Just like all the other deals have done.

It is a sop to Big Business and corporations to get a foothold in the markets of other countries. It is always about profit. It is never about the workers. Bottom line.

The products are only negligible in prices. They will try and make the largest profit margin the market will bear.
