Interesting philosophical point you raise. But say your unemployed fellow Americans demand jobs instead of cheap goods. Why should your demand take precedence over theirs? Just curious how you envision conflicting “demands” being resolved.
Free trade is simply the free market system applied worldwide. Over the last few decades, it has lifted billions out of poverty. What's not to like about that?
Of course, in a free market, there is competition, and competition implies losers. Losers whine pitifully and sometimes manage to access the politicians (poly + tics = blood-sucking morons who deserve to die).
But, on the average, the whole world is much richer than if the tics are allowed to bleed the free market economy in order to buy votes! And, moreover, the biggest slice of the return goes to the top of the food chain. And that, despite Zero's best bleeding efforts, remains the US!
In 2016, we must be sure to elect a president who understands the free market!
