Free trade opened the door for companies to move their operations to other nations where people make only pennies per hour and there are almost no ecological standards. This isn't limited to manufacturing, either. Many IT jobs, programming jobs and telemarketing/customer service jobs are also flying out of this country in staggering numbers.
How can somebody who needs to make a bare minimum of $7-8/hour just to get by (And God bless anyone who can somehow manage to survive on so little in the US), compete with someone who will bust their hump and kiss your feet if you pay them a SINGLE DOLLAR PER HOUR or EVEN LESS!?
I feel very strongly that tarriffs should be raised to encourage companies to bring operations back to this country. I also believe strongly in buying AMERICAN made products whenever possible. Unfortunately, it's becoming less possible by the month as more and more jobs are outsourced to cheap, low-quality foreign markets.
