Give us free trade!

George Bush, and capitalists everywhere... say "we want free trade - remove the barriers!"
They chant it like a mantra.

Give us free trade... remove the barriers!
Give us free trade... remove the barriers!
Give us free trade... remove the barriers!
Give us free trade... remove the barriers!
Give us free trade... remove the barriers!

OK... lets give them what they want (in several steps) and see how they like it.

Lets say we are God and we can arrange all the following things...

Step 1. all china's legal barriers to trade are removed.

Happier now?

Step 2. all the U.S. trade barriers are correspondingly removed.

Happier now?

Step 3. God re-arranges the continents and slides China over the earths surface so that its touching America.

Happier now?

Step 4. God rearranges the shapes of both countries like two interlocking combs so that all parts of America are within easy commuting or transportation distance from China.

Happier now?

Step 5. Legal barriers are lowered so that workers from each country can cross the borders in to the other and work in each others factories.

That's just about the freest trade you can get.

They must be ecstatic!

Now tell me what's going to happen to your average wages compared to the Chinese?

....still ecstatic?
