"Free" Trade Xfers Wealth From The 99% to the 1%

[Martin Hash]

Mr Hash, inventor of the $4,000 iPhone.

Counting paying back the Treasuries, it may already be a $4,000 iPhone.

You already tolt us we don't hafta pay that shit back. We got all the carrier groups n shit.

Which way is it?

Yeah, nobody's going to be repaying the National Debt, but the idea of The Rich being subsidized to destroy U.S. jobs never gets mentioned except by me. (Really, have you ever heard anybody else make this point? It seems so obvious, somebody else must have noticed?)

We’ve discussed it a number of times. It’s my main issue to argue about.

I don’t agree that free trade is a cause though. It literally just means not placing tariffs on imports - which do drive costs up, and into the pockets of the 1%.
