Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling FIRST IN A SERIES OF CORPORATOCRACY INFORMATION BROCHURES YOUR corporate overlords, working for YOU! ATTENTION, SUBJECTS The Trans-Pacific Partnership Is the Treaty So Good, No One Need See It! Do not attempt to find out about the processes we are having your governmental bodies put in place for us. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS! We've worked hard to craft a global system of laws that benefit our MOST IMPORTANT constituent - YOU, our beloved captive consumer/ wage slave! Don't take it from us... Just listen to one of our underlings! "The contents of the T.P.P. isn't a 'secret'! It's just 'benevolently withheld information'!" - Barack Obama, Employee of the Month We let almost a dozen representatives of what you call your "nation" view the T.P.P. through a transparent panel for several minutes. If that's not transparency, WHAT IS? STILL concerned about new laws and how they'll be applied? Know this: It won't be by these stuffy, black-robed dinosaurs. The judges in our new CORPORATOCRACY will be OUR LAWYERS! SO...take one of your pills (you know the ones), and turn on your TV. You'll feel better! Remember...T.P.P. is T.MI.

Sort of like the affordable care act. ACA.

Big difference between something that got 15,000,000 Americans affordable health insurance and something that’s probably going to cost 15,000,000 American jobs. Doesn’t matter where you’re coming from a hot steaming pile is still just that.

You’d best start learning to say:
您好，歡迎我的經濟崇高大師

Actually, “Obamacare” is the product of bipartisan congressional negotiation. Its components were thoroughly thrashed over (and mostly trashed) by republicans.

LizardPriest. No argument there. And it’s still hard to tell all of what is in it.

I initially read the line near the top as “your corporate warlords”. Also works.

The obstinate boneheadedness of teabaggers never ceases to amaze. Have a grown-up read the latest on the ACA from the Wall Street Journal to you, fellas, and stop listening to Alex Jones or whatever lunatic you lick up your talking points from.
…I mean, if you have the guts. One or two of you might. I keep hoping.

Something fundamental to keep in mind when considering any international treaty: treaties are the highest law of the land, exceeding all other laws, and surpassed, maybe, by only the Constitution itself. Be very, VERY careful when considering treaties.

And let us not forget TTIP, which is just as bad as the TPP from what has been leaked about it, and as secretive.
