That is a good point. Another success for sugar tariffs.

Actually we place a fixed amount of sugar that can be imported into the U.S. That is a quota not a tariff.
If we had a tariff on sugar, the US government would collect the tariff (tax). As it is, the people who own the quota benefit; they sell their sugar to us for at least double the world price.
