U.S. sugar prices are almost three times higher than on world markets, in part because imports of raw sugar are limited by law to 1.4 million short tons, including 151,885 tons from Mexico. That benefits sugar cane and sugar beet farmers in states like Louisiana, Florida and Minnesota, but boosts raw material prices for sugar-consuming companies like Coca-Cola Co. and Mars Inc.

Sounds like a southern protective tariff to me.

In other words, having discovered that you are wrong about the Louisiana senate race and having been caught in a lie about how the rest of the state minus New Orleans voted, you are trying to shift the discussion to sugar tariffs. If you want my take on those tariffs, I will happily point out that, like most other tariffs, they are wrong and economically problematic. Therefore they should be repealed.
