Just look at any small town that has few jobs and low prices. Do you really believe that town is booming?
I am for free trade as long as its fair. There is no way our people can compete with someone at 5 cents an hour. If lower wages are so good, then why don't they just get slaves. That way it will not cost them anything.
We were small then. It was abandoned because it held back the growth and was unworkable.
