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.

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?

Whether or not you agree, citizens do have rights that are not given to businesses. If you ponder this for a minute you may be able to think of one. OK. I'll tell you. How about voting?

I'm beginning to suspect you are a rabidly, all-out free trader. Are you by chance a libertarian, also?

What gives private corporations the right to expect services from the government like police/legal/military protection, stable currency, taxpayer founded roads etc?

Because a company cannot exist without our permission - it is a fig-newton of the imagination of the government, and every INC. is there at the permission of the government, which is a creation of 'we, the people'.

A company has no inherent right to exist.
