I think the idea is that with some wealth redistribution (taxes) free trade allows domestic companies to bring in larger revenues which would contribute to better education (healthcare, infrastructure etc). Then the idea is that we don't have domestic sweatshops, Nikes would continue to be made cheap offshore and the country's population could benefit from better education which would contribute to better innovation and better quality jobs

Where do you see larger revenues going besides to shareholders? If anything we've seen the opposite of better education/healthcare for the general public.

The state takes a much larger share of your salary than the shareholders do, so no you are wrong here. Most money do not go to shareholders, it goes to the state taxes to fund programs and worker salaries, increasing those is a good thing.
