“Free Trade” = Less Income For The USA Treasury
“Free Trade” = Higher Income Taxes
“Free Trade” = Lower Standard of living
“Free Trade” = Market Turmoil
“Free Trade” = Price Of Goods, Marketplace And Worker Instability
“Free Trade” = Inflation/Deflation/Recession/Depression
“Tariffs” = Competitively Priced goods
“Tariffs” = Higher Wages
“Tariffs” = Money For The USA Treasury
“Tariffs” = Less Tax On USA workers
“Tariffs” = Less Turmoil In The marketplace
“Tariffs” = Stable Markets And Prices

Someone please explain to me how paying USA workers wages that have to compete with the lowest standards of living in foreign workers in the world is healthy for the American worker and by extension the Middle Class and the USA as a whole? I maintain that this whole “FREE TRADE” movement is made up “BY CORPORATIONS, FOR CORPORATIONS and is implemented by the BRAINWASHED CORPORATE PAID FOR USA POLITICIANS! Let’s pay television talk show hosts, news anchors, actors, producers, directors, gaffers, wardrobe etc the same salary that his or her counterpart in China is making and I’ll get a less costly cable service! In the 1970′s Japan was flooding the USA with cheaper Japanese produced motorcycles. Harley Davidson could not compete and went to the Federal Government and asked for “Tariffs” to be placed on Japanese motorcycles. The Federal Government complied and Japan went on to compete fairly with Harley Davidson and Harley Davidson went on to prosper. Now we want to destroy the American auto worker which is the last good paying heavy manufacturing industry left in America. Dosen’t make any sense to me to drag down the USA into a “Free Trade” economy that has no viable benefits for America! It is clear that the only beneficiary is CORPORATE PROFITS. What am I missing?
