11. IMO it's an issue used to stir up discontent

I'm not sure it is the evilest of all evil things, but simply being presented as such - it's detractors never have any actual explanation for all the terrible things they claim will happen because of it. The WH page indicates good things it will bring about. There's no real explanation for that either - though I can see the benefit of attempting to regulate international trade. Is isn't just the "corporations" involved, we all are, as consumers and/or producers. This thinking that American corporations are all evil is a bit silly, since they provides goods and services and jobs - who knows but the TPP doesn't slow down outsourcing? Nobody really seems to know what's in it.
