The purpose of 'Free Trade' has always been to destroy the American Middle-class.
The reason they push free trade on us is to keep inflation from going through the roof.
If everything were made in America again, no one using today’s dollars could afford to buy anything made in America.
Just look at the goods and services still produced in America—the cost of all have skyrocketed: healthcare, real estate, insurance, education, transportation, etc.
Just read what Karl Marx said about free trade.
