"Those Americans calling for government restrictions that would deny companies and ultimately consumers to benefit from cheaper methods of production are asking us to accept lower wealth in order to protect special interests."

Another helping of free-trade demogogery which is nothing more than espousing the special interests of the wealthy to acquire more wealth on the backs of their poorer countrymen. All this so we can have cheaper phone calls and consumer goods.

Who's gonna buy those goods after wages are chopped in half?

Those whose wages are doubled.

Isn't acquiring as much wealth as possible free enterprise and the "American dream"? If those "poorer countrymen" want to try and acquire wealth, they are free to. No one's holding them down from trying. And how are people supposed to have goods to buy if the companies have to pay more for labor, creating higher prices for those goods?
