Last summer I finished taking a MBA course on global economics and the professor flat out stated, the goal of free trade was an equalizing effect of everyone's wages. Now calculate the numbers of Americans and Europeans and their average wages vs all the third worlders (China and India alone have 2.3 billion) and see what that means. While the third worlders rise up, we collapse and only the lords of free trade make off well over the peasants. Thus, killing the middle class which is the only buffer to keep the socialists/communists out of power.

I don't suppose this "professor" (did he ever hold a job in the real world?) offered any proof of this that you would like to share with us? Hopefully you took notes.

Now calculate the numbers of Americans and Europeans and their average wages vs all the third worlders (China and India alone have 2.3 billion) and see what that means.

Why don't you do this and tell us what it means. Please show your work.

While the third worlders rise up, we collapse

Can you offer any proof of this other than links to the AFL-CIO, Public Citizen or CPUSA?

Thus, killing the middle class..

Again, anything to offer as proof that free trade is killing the middle class? Or, should we all just take your word for this?
