Does free trade mean fair trade?

I think that since we are a capitalistic society, we should be doing what we can to help our country to prosper, but that doesn't I'm for it. We are living in a country where everyone does whatever it takes to take it to the top and grasp the American Dream by the tail and turn it into a fur coat. 
The fact that we are outsourcing is merely because we are looking to make cheap and sell large. these methods lead to high profits and more money to cover the holes in our gold lined pockets.
the fact that they cannot produce enough crops to sell for cheaper than ours is great. I enjoy eating my American crops and I do so with my silver spoon and a half full glass of Florida orange juice (half full because I am an optimist)

Marketing in America and our Image

I was watching T.V. with my girlfriend when a commercial for prilosec came on. This heartburn medicine isn't anything out of the ordinary, but what did catch my attention was the celebrity endorsement. These commercials are supposed to grab the average American celebrity and of all the famous faces we have,  they chose Larry the Cable Guy. This to me was not infuriating, but more disconcerting that the average American was an overweight redneck. No disrespect towards the comedian, but in my mind the average American shouldn't be some uneducated redneck, but a working class hero. What are your thoughts?
