But the real damage is done to farmers in poor countries, because high tariffs keep them out of key markets, and tariffs and subsidies together drive down the world price of their exports. Without the income that trade could provide, it is their children who go hungry and who are deprived of clean water, medicines and other basic necessities of life.

Right out of the democrat playbook!

As if Wolfowitz gives a rat's rear-end about farmers in poor countries.
This lying sack of dung is actually working to enable transnational food conglomerates to aquire resources in Third World nations, forcing peasant farmers off their land through corporate economies of scale. Then he intends to import these displaced farmers as cheap, illegal immigrant labor for the US.

I've become convinced that Paul Wolfowitz is truly an evil man.
