End the farm subsidy for corn and lift the import tax on sugar.

The price of sugar in the U.S. is kept artificially high due to the import tax levied against sugar. The U.S. sources of sugar are limited by the climate in the U.S. which only allows sugar cane to be produced in a handful of states. While sugar beats can be grown in most states they cannot compete with the artificially low prices of corn-based sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup. Fructose is fast being recognized for it's contribution to the obesity epidemic in the U.S. Real sugar is much more healthy to consume and would be used to replace fructose if it could compete on price in the free market. The loss of the revenue from the import tax would be more than offset by the elimination of the subsidy for corn.
