You are correct. Free trade is not the only culprit. That's why he is also gouing after "Wall ST" which is shorthand for the whole Profit Uber Alles mentality of the modern business world.

The most efficient form of production is slavery combined with automation, and a large population who are pushed out and starving. The movie Soylent Green captures that pretty well.

Is that what we really want?

He represente a much larger movement -- and larger public sentiment -- that is trying to connect the dots to push the economy back to at least a counterbalance to the worst aspects of Corporate Greed and Capitalistic Rapaciousness.

That should be supported, not dismissed.
