The truly frustrating part to the average taxpayer is the one-sidedness of how the law develops. I have politicians telling me that TTP is vital and needs to pass, so we get strong protections for IP, more revenue for these american companies, blah blah. But when it comes to making laws to tax those same companies, well there's lots of issues, it's very complex, we need to study it for a long while.

It's very clear who lawmakers are looking out for.

Just to clarify, did you mean TPP, TTIP, both, or something else?

They'e both terrible attempts to enrich the already entrenched even further.
