TPP: An act of duplicity

[donquixote99]

I want to emphasize the revolutionary change the TPA represents. As things are now, corporate income largely derives from sales in markets. As such they must provide goods and services that customers are free to buy or not, to get income. The TPA changes that. Through tribunal judgements, corporations can establish entitlement to income streams from involuntary taxation, without delivering any goods or services at all.

I can see a future in which corporations, having established such entitlement, actually shut down operations that compete to provide good and services to customers, in favor of 'rent seeking.'
