Yeah, we gotta protect those welfare queens growing sugar beets from the real world. Can't have them switching to carrots or something.

welfare queens

The truly gargantuan welfare queens are the "least developed countries" who are getting welfare through "trade capacity building" paid for out of the taxes withheld from the paychecks of the average working Americans.

What right does our government have to take money from working Americans to give to these countries with their corrupt governments?

The businesses who want to relocate there should pay their own expenses, or maybe their business model isn't so great if they need the US taxpayer to give them an entre into these countries, and to insure them if things go sour.

Which welfare queens are you talking about? The US sugar growers or the CAFTA country sugar growers. Please explain paragraph 9 in the above article. It looks to me like we will be "subsidizing" other countries not to grow sugar.

I guess that it is OK to subsidize the welfare queens of CAFTA countries.
