Dictators and those who love those dictators fear free markets and love the resulting corruption. A perfect example is the current president and those who share his political agenda. They talk lies. In reality, one can get too rich (ie Rush Limbaugh) and reap massive campaign funds (ie DeLay, K-street Project) by acting against the free market and in favor of corruption.
American ethanol can only exist with massive government socialism. We have serious citrus shortages and we want ethanol. Brazil could provide both in significant amounts. But because so many American now in power hate free market concepts (so love dictatorships and socialism), America has massive tariffs. This is also the reason why the Doha round of GAAT had failed – maybe the first international trade convention to fail.
