Vying for the same shit? Yep.
Anyways, if Americans vote for sell outs, then they get sold out.
Wonder if Americans will protest the TPP once it is signed, or just sink into complacency as they have for the past few decades - till we are back to European feudalism.
The good ol' capitalist system using mercantilism for low local consumption....wealthy people and corporations don't give a shit about the average Joe, unless it's a whey to lower labor cost.

We are going through the same economic decline as Great Britain did during and after the Victorian era.....
It is another revolution, and this time it is the elite crushing the poor and middle class back into serfdom:
1. Undermine their savings and income stream i.e. credit scores that penalize savers, weaker financial regulations, lower wages, higher living costs, and bad loans.
2. Take their homes and property away i.e. foreclosures, bad loans, and attacks on small businesses.
3. Limit education, so that only the elite can go up the ladder i.e. out of control costs to attend higher education.
4. Destroy their jobs, and create a slide to the bottom i.e. NAFTA, TPP, trickle-down policies, and bribing government officials to attack worker's rights.
5. Destroy consumer rights i.e. banning consumers from the internet, and quashing of food safety and health laws.
6. Destroy human rights i.e. ban dissidents from the internet, and use police brutality to silence public protests.
7. Destroy the independence of the judiciary i.e. bribing judges to support their point of view, all the way from the local level to the Supreme court.
8. Seize control of the government i.e. bribing government officials through campaign donations and kickbacks.
9. Use the powers of government to undermine and eventually destroy the republic.
10. 1984? Animal Farm? Republic of Gilead? Brazil? Brave New World?
They are trying to get to 9 now.
