A Trade Pact helps country with lower wage costs. It makes it easier for them to export stuff to higher wage countries.
Trade Pacts also help corporations because they can move the factory to the lower wage cost country and then import the goods without tariffs. Just observe how many corporations have shifted factories to Mexico. With TPP, factories will move to the Pacific rim countries.
No wonder all the politicians who are slaves to their rich donors want these Trade pacts. Who gets screwed? The middle class as usual.
