Yeah and all those illegal (sorry migrant) workers are storming the border because their standard of living is so good they can't keep American made cars in stock in Mexico. /Sarcasm Off

"Fair trade not Free Trade"

"Fair Trade" is a fundamentally socialist concept. It implies that there is something wrong with a consumer buying from a producer, and the state must intervene to ensure economic "fairness". Furthermore I have never heard an objective standard for what trade is "fair", and I have never heard a coherent explanation of when and why a trade is "unfair".
