Free Trade keeps economies competitive. Without it nations become economic backwaters. As the trade cycle works jobs move around or die. Imposing "fair" trade i.e. taxing all other workers to support those endangered just means the jobs will leave the country a little later.

Horse and buggy manufacturers were very upset by the automobile. Laws were passed to require a flagman to walk in front of the cars so as to not upset the horses. Your trade prescriptions are similiar.

Geez, alright with the horse and buggy! Can't you do better than that? That analogy damages your credibility. Not to say you aren't credible, but it makes it seem as if you are regurgitating the party line.
You don't know my prescriptions for trade, you assume. You are probably right, but it's not good to assume.
