Just in case you are buying the "18,000 tax cuts" argument . . .

12. Yes "they do not care"

Right. Which is not the same thing as saying our economy will die the day after the TPP passes. And your evidence that MNEs care about the US is? Oh, right there is none. Because if they cared, they pay taxes so we could build roads and adequately educate children. If they cared, they'd pay enough so people could afford to shop elsewhere than Wal Mart. They'd produce here and not just sell here. They would stop saying "we are trying to become a Chinese company," which the head of Cisco actually said.

So try to keep up with the argument. MNEs do support the TPP which will give them extra legal powers. They are not people, citiEns or patriots. They don't give a rip about "America." Believing that TPP must be good for out economy because MNEs support it is the height of naïveté.

And yes, the TPP will continue the dismantling of the middle class and our manufacturing base.

And no, "oops" won't cut it when you find out you're wrong. Because trade deals are forever.

Try to read up on the provisions of the TPP before you continue down this path. You'll find TPP is about much more than tariffs. And that many leading economists say it won't work.
