"The american economic elite are hiding their treason to the American people behind _free trade_.I want to say this as clearly as it can be said.The offshoring of American jobs is the antithesis of free trade.Free trade is based on comparative advantage.Jobs offshoring is an acitivity in pursuit of lowest factor cost-an activity that David Ricardo, the originator of the free trade theory, described as a betrayal of one's own country in pursuit of _absolute advantage_".
