Occupy


Posted: Jun 19, 2012

Excerpt: "Despite the Trans-Pacific Partnership being nominally a "trade" agreement, it contains provisions that interfere with areas well beyond the bounds of trade:

• Extend the incentives for U.S. firms to offshore investment and jobs to lower-wage countries.
• Establish a two-track legal system that gives foreign firms new rights to skirt U.S. courts and laws, directly sue the U.S. government before foreign tribunals and
• Allow foreign firms to demand compensation for the costs of complying with U.S. financial or environmental regulations that apply equally to domestic and foreign firms."

Ten Ways The Occupy Movement Changes EverythingNov 14, 2011
