"It's really quite simple. To stop the outflow of American jobs, all that is required is to: repeal the minimum wage law, outlaw labor unions, repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act, dismantle OSHA, abolish the EPA, repeal the Endangered Species Act, abandon the Ecosystem Management Policy, repeal all articles of the Clean Water Act that affect non-navigable waters and, in general, return America to the social status of India, China and the other nations to which American jobs are flowing."

I wonder how many of the anti-free trade knucleheads would support the author's suggestion? He's certainly right on with his points.

Knucklehead? Its amusing when you consider just what it is that you call free trade. It is system of wage arbitrage and subsidized job offshoring enshrined by 50,000 page 'free trade treaties.' (Does real free trade take a 50,000 page document to manage it? No.)

These systems are made possible only by complex, interlocking gov't legal, labor and tax policies and capital subsidies. Since it benefits large corporations, they pay some allegedly right-wing think tank so falsely call this policy free trade. Since Rush supports it, all the dopes nod their head in agreement: "Free trade. Can't go against that. Its the fault of lazy Americans and overpaid union members."
