It's a question about the right to self-determination, which is not technical or confusing. It expands and enshrines the right of corporate attorneys to take countries to court and modify their laws to suit corporate interests. If the people of the US want to pass a law, should the constitution and government of the US decide if it sticks? Or a group of corporate lawyers at a multinational corporation in a third party business-friendly kangaroo court? If your answer is the first one, then the TPP is morally unacceptable, full stop, no more discussion needed.
- JBReefer 11y agoThat may be your opinion, but I do think we should have a discussion around something as important and complicated as the TPP. All I've heard so far is Jingoism, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard.
