During the FTAA talks (and before), we were pushing for fair trade - saying that free trade between countries with similar labour and environmental regulations is fine.

We said that for all the reasons you mentioned: real investment can build a middle class and improve people's lives.

The thing we objected to with the trade agreements is that they would enrich oligarchs and screw workers.

I just don't see how that is or was true, though, and it has nothing to do with the actual problem at hand. At least not directly.
