Actually I have no issue with free trade when I comes to South Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada, and most of the EU..

What about Mexico, Brazil or Mozambique?

Where I mind is nations with slave labor,

That's funny, these Chinese people are more prosperous than they have ever been since Mao took over. Maybe you prefer the days when they were starving to death because their captors didn't allow any market based economy?

no environmental regulations, and no human rights...

So, like Jimmy Carter, you believe in using trade wars to force other countries to conform to our ideals?

We are willing to lay down the lives of marines for democracy in Iraq, but not our dollars to encourage force it in china?

If thats why we are in Iraq, we shouldn't be there.

Is it a human right to starve because a Christian country refuses to trade with you so someone who doesn't want to get the training to better themselves can earn $70 an hour (inclusive of benefits) for doing monkey work putting a bumper on a car?

Environmental standards and standard of living is lacking.

And maybe you prefer today when American dollars build up the Chinese military so they can soon overwhelm Taiwan..

No, I believe in using free trade when there is a level playing field for small American businesses and workers, don't you?

Please my father worked at GM for years and made nowhere near 70$ an hour. BTW way to call autoworkers monkey's... I cant believe free traitors are winning this debate with attitudes like that.

Now we have x-ray techs, accountants, and some legal work being done in India... But its ok Im sure that what ever it is that you do or what ever it is that you sell cant be dont cheaper in a 3rd world nation...
