Free trade bureaucrats are hoping to fulfill their newest dream by expanding the North American Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA) to encompass all thirty-five countries within the Western Hemisphere, with the exception of Cuba. The latest proposal, the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), targeted to take effect between 2003-2005,would affect the 755 million people that reside in this hemisphere.
Like NAFTA and the World Trade Organization (WTO) policies, the FTAA is designed to eliminate trade barriers-like enviormental and human rights laws-in order to ease the flow of capital across borders. Bureaucrats want to add many provisions to the failed Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MIA). The FTAA is the next step in the process of corporate globalization, underminding all forms of life in order to increase profits for the wealthy few.
