That graph looks pretty good 1rudeboy.

In my bookshelf I have some american books from 1990:s about the `squeeze of the middle class´. Some days ago I saw a video, at the reason.tv channel on youtube, about how rich the middle class in america really is.

Here is the video

This is really another discussion but I am not sure that free trade drives GDP growth.

Like a comment stated under the video, all the middle class toys are owned by someone else, the banks.

I am for free trade without regulation and tariffs, I am for free movement over borders (worker and goods), but on which terms do growth take place?

One can not build an economy on promises to produce in the future.

Free trade for me is goods for goods, not goods for debt.
