I suppose you think the poor and middle class in America would be better off paying $150+ for shirts and $200+ for shoes, if all we could buy were (union) made in USA stuff?

The standard of living would plummet to a 1930s level without imported goods.

OK, knowing that these products are made in communist countries by slave labor, are they any cheaper now?

HA HA HA!

That shirt in the GREAT WALL-Mart still cost twenty bucks, doesn’t it? This is the lie and the scam of so-called "free trade". Nothing is cheaper at all!

We should all be driving 10,000 luxury cars and SUV's, buying 200 dollar HDTV's, etc, etc, if "free trade" had any real benefit to consumers.

Its all a scam to line the pockets of thieves that control Wall Street and the politicians they bought and paid for in BOTH political parties!
