"Free Trade"...

When will it stop? Someone sent me this from Snopes...

It is about flip flops that cause a severe reaction.
Free trade is a folly that is hurting our people. It is not trade (an exchange of items)... it is having something produces somewhere where labor laws are lacking, and pay is very low, and then shipping it back to be sold for a higher profit margin.
The result of this process is that money that would be in the hands of US companies and US workers is now in the hands of foreign countries, foreign governments, and greedy multinational corporations. Our people, our economy, our government... everybody in our country is hurt by this, yet it continues.
I just hope we are able to fix this before it is to late.
