The ones complaining about this practice should be Brazil's citizens!

Brazil is lobbying to remove supports for American sugar, but they won't get rid of their own because it PROTECTS their industry and provides jobs to the economy. What a coup if they can pull this off! Why must US farmers swallow a suicide pill to prop up the economy of a third world country?

"Free traders" say its the responsibility of the US to give up our wealth to pull the third world out of poverty.(just read Robert Zoellicks speech from May 16th) But in actual reality, the "Free traders" are just consolidating industries into the hands of a few global corporations and putting all other producers out of business. Its sharecropping on a global scale.

"PROTECTS their industry and provides jobs to the economy." It might protect THIER sugar barons but it sure does NOT provide jobs. The money used to subsidize that Baron was pulled from some poor taxpayer who would have used it better.

You have any info on how Brazil supports their sugar industry?
