TPP

The eastern hemisphere sees over 300 million people to market to in the USA and realize wealth. That is completely flawed. It is a one way market place. Nothing produced in the USA will sell to dirt cheap labor. AND Nothing produced with dirt cheap labor will provide a viable market place in the USA. The entire eastern hemisphere is diluted to think a trade agreement is going to provide wealth. It won't.'

Countries have to establish a Middle Class of consumers before trade agreements can be written. 

How does it do that?

There is manufacturing, yes? Set a minimum wage to improve the quality of life of the laborers. What is so difficult about this? There are really great unions in the USA that would love to have international members. 

Product quality cannot be compromised in anticpation of selling to the USA. Human beings are human beings, a safe world is the same for everyone. Now, if the eastern hemisphere doesn't value human life to insure Occupational Safety and Health, then the USA should not be trading with them anyway. 

Clean Air, Clean Water, Concern for Earth and emissions of greenhouse gases and human beings valued for their worth and not treated as slaves with a work stipends.

The paradigm of the Third World with a market place in the First World has no viability. 

Countries need to compete in the real world without the USA compromising it's quality of life to poverty. Poverty's consumer is about subsistence and not disposable income. 

OMG, they earn more than their house payment and weekly groceries; how did that happen?
