| Message | We agree. This ''free trade'' may only blow up our economy. A super producer can easily sell their products in our country at much cheaper prices than us. Consumers will buy foreign products, our companies won't sell, and thus they will have to lower wages, fire workers, and sooner or later the economy will sink. |

| Message | We see no reason for this. Free trade allows for us to grow. It is better for the consumer to have free trade. Simply we shall just see if our factories and businesses can do their job efficiently enough to thrive. |

| Message | thought so, the right wing can't wait until they see the day when the last farm follows the last factory overseas. |

| Message | The only reason industry and farms move out of Aloria is because other places could produce goods more efficiently than our own nation. With free trade, it allows resources to be focused on what we as a nation can produce the efficiently. |
