The "voters" may want to keep in mind it was the INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS (based in the US) who lobbied for these terrible "Free Trade Deals". It is the corporations (as always) who benefitted from outsourcing production to poor cheap labor nations. It could be argued that their practices resembles slavery in a big way. They took advantage of poor countries' population and then brought the goods back to the US and took advantage of American consumers who unwittingly put themselves out of jobs by purchasing cheap goods at Walmart.
