Free trade is the only government action that will result in net job creation.

I don't believe this statement has any sort of factual basis and I invite you to back it up with something other than another statement from yourself.

Lots of people worked, built homes and consumer goods and factories and infrastructure, and enjoyed the world's highest standard of living here in the USA under a system that didn't even remotely resemble free trade.

I believe free trade has more benefits for the business that "win" in the process, but that our citizens and our society suffer in an all-out free trade situation.

Citizens and consumers benefit most from a system of selective free trade, which considers the needs of entities other than business.

You can't be serious. What other rational and fair system can you devise to determine winners and losers?

What business is it of the citizens whether a particular company or industry wins or loses? What gives you the right to determine anything to do with a company or industry?
