So how much do they pay you to post that "press release"-style post that doesn't actually explain
how the TPP would help? You've posted a lot of fear-mongering, but haven't actually shown what would be changed by the treaty.
As we already have very little in the way of tarriffs or other barriers to international trade, there isn't a lot that could be done to "improve trade" between US and asia. So why the treaty? The TPP is nothing more than an attempt to legalize the movement of capital.
I suggest reading this fun comic that explains the economic history and theories, and what is actually being done to try and consolidate even more wealth.

In the long run, once both goods and capital can be moved freely outside the reach of government regulation - and taxation - we find the true purpose of the TPP in these two terrifying words: Corporate Sovereignty.
John Oliver just a good example of the narcissism and greed that we can expect to get a lot worse if the TPP were to pass:
