"Free trade" was never about actually genuine free trade, but more a misleading term used to describe the ongoing process of globalization.

How do you give global corporations (who pay virtually no tax and often receive government incentives) an even bigger uneven playing field on which to target and dismantle local competition ? Why you campaign to remove tariffs and any other form of protection that might just give them a chance.

Instead of fostering local businesses and investing in innovation and infrastructure, our bought and paid for politicians from both sides of politics have clamored to clutch the cash, and cushy corporate and diplomatic appointments that follow.
