Free trade is not the same as fair trade. Please tell us foreign trade deficit numbers during 8 years of president Reagan.
Agreed Free Trade is not the same as Fair Trade.
Free Trade has one and only one definition. In one word, CAPITALISM. What is Free Trade to a German is Free Trade to a Mexican is Free Trade to a Canadian is Free Trade to Americans.
Fair Trade is totally subjective and exists only in a person’s opinions and prejudices. What is Fair Trade to a German is not Fair to an American.
What is Fair to Carlos Slim who carved out Cell Phones in NAFTA to his personal benefit is not Fair to the Mexicans who are not Carlos Slim.
What is Fair Trade to Goldman-Sachs is not Fair to steel workers in Pittsburgh.
Fair is only Fair to those who are in power at any point in time. It is never Fair to those out of power.
