Free trade means the removal of the national borders in economy (primarily removal of tariffs) and transferring the economical sovereignity from the nation state to the private international owners while the workers become the freely traded commodity without having any claims based on shared nationality or citizenship.
Remaining national institution like military and police are to be paid by the workers while defending the private wealth. The downward redistribution of income is to be reduced or eliminated.
Sovereignity, sovereignity ... who has the sovereignity? That is the question.
The Cornucopia of real wealths opens fully only when that question is answered correctly. And in what passes for an answer from "free trade" crowd these days is nothing but excuses for theft. Grand Theft of that sovereignity.
"We the People" are the sovereign here in the US of A. That is the FIRST statement of the Constitution. That FACT of the national charter is DUE all the respect, fealty, and honor accorded the very similar statement of G-d, Himself, in the charter given to Moses at Sinai: "I am the Lord, your God, who led you out of bondage!"
No corporation or limited liability partnership exists without charter from a nation, and those WE have chartered OWE US WHATEVER DUTY WE SHALL LAY ON THEM.
It is not the Corportation (whatever "internationality" it may falsely claim) who is the Master -- although that is in too many ways the trump of the Senate and Beltway -- it is US. Moreover it is a DUTY we may not be absolved up or give up.
Because "We the People" are merely agents of our own Master, that same Master Who directed Moses himself.
It is a solemn and dread duty, and to fail at it will be our death and ruin.
Thank goodness, someone finally got it right. I congratulate you. When business and government team up, the middle class will become lower than the lowest serfs.
The politicians will reap a ton of money from the corporations who are outsourcing jobs, thus helping the politicians do away with the rights and threats from the bothersome voting public.
This is another reason our president doesn't want to limit illegal immigration. These people will work like dogs, at least the first generation will, and vote out any pesky conservatives. (Such as Tom Tancredo)
