A powerful vote.. made by only a few

It is very interesting to read the opinions of many about the crucial vote on CAFTA coming up. As I read the news and editorials, I am sure like many of you (I think) that in the long run this agreement would be good for the biggest economy of the world. However, it is very important to understand both sides and that is why I keep telling people to think about the smaller countries. Would the people really benefit? The inequalities in this region are huge... These negotiations are made by those who "understand" economics or have a special interest. Not by the guy selling fruits in market, or by the guy with the small shoes store in the "centro" or downtown in Tegucigalpa. What I am trying to say is that the "average" people is not going to benefit like people think. Education and Health are issues that negotiator need to put before the interest of private companies or trade. Without these issues resolve... they wont be competing to buy our goods, but making them! Free trade would never work as it should. It is time that we consider the bigger issue or that we understand a little more than just profit, economics, or market access.
