In fact, there is no "free trade" only managed trade by the global socialists who run the WTO and the UN.

Who is arguing in favor of welfare payments, abroad or otherwise? Free trade is about removing barriers to trade, and not imposing new ones. It's wrong to argue against free trade because politicians tie socialism to it in treaties. Don't toss out the baby with the bathwater.

Politicians, especially on the international scene,will never allow "free trade" to exist because they are making out like bandits with all the tax dollar giveaways to coerce them into signing "free trade' agreements. So arguing for "free trade" is an exercise in futility.
