We’ve been lied to over and over again that free trade treaties protect people working in third world sweat shops like Guatemala. However, that’s another lie foisted on us by supporters of free trade treaties, such as Wall Street Senators Ron Wyden, Orrin Hatch and Mitch McConnell, Wall Street President Barack Obama, and Wall Street Congressman John Boehner.
“A report published in January by the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights and the Center for Studies and Support for Local Development (CEADEL) offers a detailed case study of the corruption, abuse and shameless profiteering that often exemplify the global supply chain, demonstrating that globalization and “free trade” do not “lift all boats” but instead builds more yachts for the 1%, which is Wyden’s only goal in the senate, Boehner’s in the house, and Obama’s in the White House.”
The sad thing is that their goal is never ending, since their goal primarily supports the Ponzi Scheme known as Wall Street.
