32. No, the purpose of our trade agreements is to eliminate all taxes and tariffs on corporations

doing business overseas, thereby enabling them to use essentially
slave labor and export "US-made products" such as (illegally-subsidized)
foodstuffs in order to put subsistence farmers out of business
and clog third-world cities with impoverished "labor market fluidity".

That is the STATED PURPOSE of the GATT Trade agreements and the
Free Trade movement in America, with its roots in the moneyed elite

(Davos, etc.)

Just like US corporations did in the US 100 years ago.

Why do you think they wanted to turn Cuba into the 51st state?
