176. the answer is obvious

free trade allows companies to exploit the American consumer base without providing its citizenry with jobs. Supercorporations can move American unionized jobs to third-world countries and pay the workers 15 cents an hour to work in horrid conditions, then export the goods to the US for high profit. This isn't even in consideration of environmental issues.

What is good for big business is invariably NOT good for you.
