Another Hated Duty

That would be the duty on imported ethanol. Or if you prefer the Aurthur Daniels Midland duty.



This video is Not Work Safe in places. In other places it might be a requirement. Viewer discretion advised.

For more video of a somewhat drier nature visit Set America Free. Actually since they are promoting alcohol they would be wets.


H/T Instapundit who links to a semi-tame version. i.e. you have to scroll down. If I get any complaints I may do the same.

Complaints?!?

How about a genteel 'golf clap'.

(of course I mean the non-sarcastic variety)

Ending Iowa's bizarrely outsized importance in presidential primaries would go a long way in mitigating the corn lobby's influence.

If you really believe in free trade though, we'd never get any Brazilian ethanol, because we'd just buy up their sugar before they could make the stuff.
