How reassuring. Except that's exactly what free trade deals with third world countries is, or haven't you noticed? Companies dump Americans, move to China, pay workers .20 an hour then flood our markets with those products at the same price as when they were made here. Now's who getting rich thanks to government sanctioned policies?
There was a time not long ago when we would slap tariffs on companies who did that to protect American jobs. Now people like you and the Cato Institute call it "free trade". Sure it is.
Corporate welfare is not free trade. It is subsidies and tax breaks and protective tarrifs. (which you advocate)
Hiring whomever you want and selling products to whomever will buy them at whatever price arrived upon without coersion is free trade. It works better than any other system. Certainly better than your view, which has been a dismal failure (and is immoral) where ever it has been used.
I love debating so called conservatives who love command policies and big government interference in private transactions. It exposes them for what they truly are. In the "big government know best" and Union thug camp.
