If you want to win the next election, yes. If not say hi to Hitlery. Besides I agree with them that free trade is bad for the middle class of this country.

See the following for classic examples of what happens when

1. Massive, unsustainable Social Security system.
2. Massive, unsustainable Medicare system.
3. Massive, unsustainable Great Society programs.
4. Massive, unsustainable U.S. government.
5. Massive, unsustainable open immigration policy (in a desperate attempt to perpetuate Items 1 through 4)

Notice a common theme here?

Catering to the whims of ignorant people eventually leads to fiscal chaos and ultimately to the collapse of these government functions. Catering to the whims of the masses in economic matters is no less futile than legislating changes in the weather.

Besides I agree with them that free trade is bad for the middle class of this country.

It's easy for people to say that "free trade" is bad for the middle class of this country because they have no idea what the alternative would be. And I can guarantee you that once people are exposed to the realities and limitations of the world in which they live, 95% of "the middle class" would prefer our current trade policies to the alternative.
