I believe free trade is the ultimate just system to all people, of all nations, dependent on one thing only.

All nations that participate in the system of free trade, must have equal individual rights for the citizens of the nations that are trading. This creates a balanced table of economics that allows individuals around the world to share the same affixed value of labor, which is critical to goods produced and sold in the market. This creates a global, level playing field for all who participate in labor, or management/ownership.



Without equal rights for individuals, free trade will allow the economic table to tilt to the nations willing to allow mass exploitation of their workforce for state or national gains. This would be the U.S. vs China at this time.

By allowing China into the free trade system, without having equal rights for its citizens to the U.S., or comparable regarding labor compensation and property, it tilts the table to China who exploits its workers for national gains, and makes it over-appealing to industry through an almost non-existent tax burden, since the workers bear the entire brunt of the taxation. The owners and nations elite profit, while the workers are exploited for pennies on the dollar, all the while keeping the goods at just below average prices for a better than average profit, simultaneously making it harder for comparable U.S. companies who are required to pay fair wages, respect workers rights and property, as well as pay excessive taxation for unconstitutional social welfare programs.

We are killing our true American Companies (small business) in order to keep the Monopolies (Multi-National and International Corporations).

What we have today is nothing like free trade.
