Corporations and Banks are the major funders of Presidential Candidates and Parties so really my question is putting the horse before the cart.
Multinational Corporations and Big Banks pretty much own our government given the amount of money, lobbying and revolving door positions they hold.
Since they have so much influence over our government, then they are responsible for the well being of all citizens of this nation via economic and foreign policy.
I agree- The TPP (and ACA, NAFTA, Fed Reserve Act and nearly all important legislation) is written by corporations; they just get their whores in Congress to push it through.
Both private and public are responsible for this collusion. The American people are only responsible for being apathetic and ignorant to let all this happen.

Nafta passed with support of both the GOP and Dems.
