Russia beware! The WTO is a biased undemocratic organization of nations that limits America’s ability to act in its own best interest. Since entering the WTO in 2001, trade with China alone has resulted in the loss of 2.3 million jobs through 2007. Beyond the quantifiable numbers of economic hardship in America, the WTO is inherently wrong for other reasons. The organization remains indifferent to issues of workers rights, child labor and environmental protection standards. The organization has little to no transparency as all of its hearing are closed to the public. It is no wonder then that we lose nine out of every 10 trade disputes brought before the body. The WTO has come to represent the most efficient form of colonization the world has ever seen - reaping all the benefits with no downsides of occupation. The corporate agenda of the organization has destroyed the developing economies of the world, exploiting cheap resources and giving them little in return. Learn more at http://economyincrisis.org/
