Big sugar got in the way. Besides, there are thousands of homes to the

Ah yes, the Fanjul Family, corporate welfare at it's worst. I've
mentioned before, the incestuous relationship between pork and campaign
contributions. This is a prime example. The Fanjuls contribute to *both*
Republican and Democrats, but oh, the payback, $60 million in 1998. No
worries about environmental damages, the sugar industry is subsidized to
the tune of $472 per acre. Sweet deal.

You may not agree with this, but I think corporate welfare may be the
biggest and most damaging threat to this country's democracy. Both
parties are guilty. It is a very incestuous relationship between the
governmental trough and political contributions. We, as citizens, pay
dearly, both financially and environmentally.
