414. How sweet it is?

I used the phrase "How sweet it is" referring to Apple's increase after hours today.

Where sugar in the rest of the world is lower, ours is high because we have import taxes on foreign sugar too. Thus, ANY product that uses sugar -- think about everything -- is also inflated higher than it could be. Instead of letting the market set the price, we subsidize the U.S.sugar industry and tax the world industry. I suppose we could debate what a lower price of sugar would mean to the thousands of other businesses in the U.S. and to We the Consumer of their products. OR, we can just say we are accustomed to it and let select groups get our tax payer subsidies instead of maybe another industry, OR NONE as Romney suggested. Let the market determine prices!
