If the TTP was truly about free trade, it would have been so easy to make this agreement. Instead, it's designed by lobbyist (legal, professional bribery) and greedy corporations & politicians, who are trying to manipulate & monopolies, at every turn. For the pro TTP fans, I ask, how is any part of this agreement considered "free trade"?

Yep, time for those campaign contributions to pay off.
