How many American Jobs will the TPP give away so MultiNational Corporations can collect Royalties

and maintain "Regional Pricing Schemes" for pharmaceuticals

Besides NONE of that money gathered from increased payments for Intellectual Property Rights will be "Repatriated back into the USA". All the Major Players assign those Intellectual Property Rights to subsidiary corporations sheltered in foreign tax haven countries.

Bottom Line - we'll lose countless jobs and not see 1 dime in revenues

After all, Politicians will need to be bribed, and money spent on political propaganda, to keep this charade going. And I'm sure our President will get some nice speaking fees, after he retires, from these groups. The machine must be greased, you know.
