American Sugar Subsidies

It was through very thoroughly planned politics and propaganda created mainly by the rich and the elites, that the citizens of the freest nation on earth chose to start a revolution. It was only because Britain decided not to put all of their effort and resources into fighting, that the revolution was a success. Several “acts” triggered a chain reaction, allowing the elites to create enough propaganda to cause colonists to revolt against Britain.

Agricultural subsidies is a very complex and controversial economic topic today. It will continue to be a hot topic as government continues it. It is largely debated in the United States as well as in other countries. The reason it is so largely debated is because it literally have an effect on the entire world market. Not to mention that the farm has been booming the last 5 to 10 years. This topic also tends to draw strong opinions in our area in particular due to the large agricultural community in our region. However, even within different states there are many supporters as well as opponents to these government subsidies.

Sugar is everywhere in our lives. When you eat, sugar is in the food such as hamburger, sandwiches, pizza, bread, etc. When you drink, sugar is in the beverage like soda, juice, coffee and even milk. Furthermore, sugar exists in snacks such as cookies, cupcakes, biscuits and so on. I cannot list everything with sugar here. Actually, when we eat, we eat sugar. Unfortunately, sugar is now considering a toxic to our bodies. It causes diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart attack and cancer, etc. As sugar threatens the public health, government is considering curb sugar consumption by taxes on sugar; restrictions placed on food production and even age requirements on purchasing sugary foods. For this research project, I decided to pursue the question, Should sugar be regulated? This question deserves to be examined because we need to make some change for life to reduce sugar intake but at the same time it’s controversial that whether the government should intervene and regulate sugar. I wonder how the government will take appropriate measures to regulate sugar as well as improve public health.

In our daily life, we all have tasted sugar probably more than you think. Sugar is something we enjoy without having much concern, in fact this can be problematic. With the amount of sugar we take in, it can affect our health in the future. Therefore, the US government should create strict sugar regulations, in order to prevent future health problems of its citizens. The regulation can hopefully help prevent the increasing rate of diabetes, more risk of liver issues, and reduce people’s sugar addiction. Most people are unaware of these problems and it’s up to the US to make a change in people's health with a strict sugar regulation.

According to VisionLaunch, people are worried about their papers full of responsibility: money. This corn fuel drives up the price of food products. This means that corn is more expensive since it is being used for fuel. It is a fact that corn is being used more for fuel than food, which is why it is more expensive. Subsidies are to help take care of that problem and reduce the amount of money corn is worth. However, there is a problem because the subsidies are funded by taxpayers which is not affecting us or

Although farm subsidies all have their roots to one major piece of legislation, there are multiple variations that are common. One of such subsidy programs allows farmers to counter fluctuations in various aspects of their production. If prices for a crop take astounding hikes or fall dramatically, subsidies can provide in time of need. This is the most well-known farm subsidy program, but there are other aspects that get remarkably overlooked. Even insurance coverage, product marketing, research and conservation efforts are subsidized under the current Farm Bill. With the present situation, many Americans believe that the government carries too much control in the agricultural market. For a more detailed breakdown of where the funding in the Farm Bill goes to, see the pie chart below for a reference. These numbers are accurate as of the 2014 Farm Bill, per the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition.

As addictive properties of sugar had exploded the demand for sugar at the start of the 1700’s, the demand called for higher production. The ideal climate in the Caribbean and the abundance of African slaves provided this higher production, transforming the small English sugar trade into the beginning of global commerce. After the discovery of the Caribbean in 1492, the land was colonized and used for its ideal climate to grow cane sugar (Doc. 1, 2, and 6). The cheap land had popped up colonies that started utilizing slaves and other resources to make a highly efficient labor system (Doc. 9, 10, and production facility (Doc. 7-12

the Sugar Act caused alarm in the American colonies, partly because of the expected economic disadvantages, but also because of a number of other reasons, one of the most important being the severe implementation by the navy. Added to this was a general post-war depression and the enactment of another act prohibiting the use of paper money, almost immediately following the Sugar Act. It was this combination of factors which provided the background for the oppositional activities. A lot of assemblies spoke against the new taxes. In addition, the Sugar Act also became an issue in the struggle between various factions in the different states, but in general opposition was strong. One of the steps taken, for example, was to threat with a boycott

I write with greatest regret, about your enforcement of the sugar act, I respect you and my lord and do not wish to defy you. I am a humble tavern owner in the colony of Maryland. Ever since you enforced of the sugar act, I have lost the ability to buy enough rum, because taxation on molasses too high. I am aware that you have recently lowered the taxes on molasses, but would you lower it a little more. I know it is unheard of to question the right of the king and I respect you, but this law has caused my tavern to become less and less popular, i cant compete with the others for I have no money. For if you do not get rid of this act, I will move to the west side, over the proclamation line. You might ask yourself, how is one silly little colonist

_Now we can solve for the changes in surplus and total welfare. Once again, start intuitively. Since the price of sugar in the U.S. market has gone up it follows that U.S. consumer surplus will fall, U.S. producer surplus will rise, foreign producer will be better off, and there will be a domestic deadweight loss._

The New Zealand government should have a tax to regulate the consumption of sugary drinks or foods, because this leads to decrease issues of people 's health and it would be heartening healthy conducts.
