Robert Reich on the Real Reason the Corporate-Friendly TPP Is Nearly Dead

[Bluenorthwest]

112. From the history of your posts, I assume you don't mind making favored partners out of anti gay

religious States such as Brunei.
Brunei was one of the 4 initiating nations, but while negotiations have continued, the Sultan has established strict religious laws which will include the death penalty for gay people, and he says he is doing this to insulate his culture against the globalization wrought by the TPP the Sultan wants. See the problem there?
Of course the Sultan and his family are exempt from the religious laws, they are famously corrupt and venal. The partners you seek so ardently, Mr President, want me dead.

Why any human being who opposed bigotry would favor this deal is beyond me. The fact that these facts never get mentioned defines those who support this deal.

The President, he stands with those who hate me and my kind. As such, he has no loyalty from me at all, nor does his segment of the Party. This is why I support Sanders. The 'centrists' sell my people to the Sultans for a few bucks.
