Your approach isn't fair trade at all...

You start out by saying you only drink American wine (only American beer too? blech.)
How fair is that?
I don't screw workers. I screw overpaid workers. I screw paying more for something. I prefer to have money left over so I can either save it or spend it.
I prefer being able to sell my goods anywhere. I prefer global economic strength with a robust economy. I prefer seeing economic issues as going beyond national boundaries. I see global solutions to those issues.
I see the only way of dealing with China's issues is to bring them into the global economy, and not isolate them further. I see a Middle East that will end it's cycle of violence through the absolute need to engage in trade.
I see an EU that has by and large picked itself up by its bootstraps through free trade. I see Chile build a robust economy through trade.
You, on the other hand, want crappy American gas guzzling cars.
