Free trade has proven to be good even for the lowly. In the US everything is super cheap since we do not tax imports hardly at all. In Brazil they have a 100% import tax and everything is very expensive. Just the examples I know well.
In the EU and the US, we can't erect walls to keep stuff out since this would then allow other countries to do the same. Once you enter the free trade system is sort of a treadmill where you have to keep up.
