Exactly what do you have in mind when you say “free trade”

Outsourcing.

We do not have "free trade". Only imbalanced, anti-American trade.

In fact it's not trade at all. Only spending, and ever-growing unemployment.

Ditto. 1 percent spins they create jobs. Well their recklessness on Wall Street and protected by their puppets in Congress killed 11 million jobs. Who taught the Chinese and Indians how to do jobs Americans used to do? In 1980 China could not run a factory and be proficient as an American one. Who taught them? Corporate America (1 percenters) who thought they can make even more money by teaching Chinese workers how to do it. Same with Indian workers. I remember a Chinese American buddy of mine who worked for ATT was sent six months to Shanghai to teach the Chinese how to write software for a cellphone network. He was chosen because he can speak fluent Mandarin. I told him that if the Chinese master that his software division will be laid off by ATT. He acknowledged that. If he refused the assignment he will be on the shitlist for future layoffs. Three years later ATT laid off his entire division. All assignments were done by the Chinese. Those good paying jobs are now gone. So how will the families of the 1 percent go shopping if crime makes it unsafe for them to not have bodyguards? How much of their gross salaries must be taxed so sufficient food stamps and unemployment benefits are funded to prevent social unrest? Worst the PLA can access the technology to modernize and one day kick the US out of the Far East and the Western Pacific with the technology our greedy corporations gave them.
