Here's an example of what you are saying that presents no conflict in my mind. Buy products, to use your free trade example, such as bananas, pineapples, coffee or the like. And in turn we ship our products totally unique to us. An extreme example, but one that doesn't put all of us out of work! However import cars sold here, and then only receiving a very small cut and the big profit shipped overseas, is not growth.
