In the words of Friedman: "We cannot expect existing businesses to promote legislation that would harm them. It is up to the rest of us to promote the public interest by fostering competition across the board and to recognize that being pro-free enterprise may sometimes require that we be anti-existing business."

Just worth repeating.

To expand on the Friedman theme- if you think that the current regime of labor wage arbitrage and job offshoring, which is enabled by 50,000 page 'trade treaties,' China govt capital investment subsidies, US tax laws, US export credit guarantees, is somehow 'free trade' then you are nuts.
