free trade promoters tend to overemphasize benefits.

intelligent people recognize that benefits are not likely to be derived from something that is offered as “free.”

if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Funny, I seem to derive a lot of benefit from living in a “free” country.

Do you think “free trade” means that we’ll be dealing in free goods? Seriously?

While we’re at it, maybe we should set up some trade restrictions between the states? And why stop there? Let’s build trade fences around individual cities too.

Only economics illiterates fail to understand the obvious benefits derived from a system of free trade. Those same illiterates also generally have no understanding of the importance of free markets and, unfortunately, there are far too many of them who vote and even hold elective office.
