"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick has served notice to American farmers that the Bush administration may be willing to end agricultural tariffs as part of an effort to remove global trade barriers.
Zoellick has asked the U.S. International Trade Commission, an independent agency, to estimate the effects on the economy of eliminating duties on hundreds of farm products, including orange juice, sugar and dairy, among the most highly protected. A new law expanding President George W. Bush's authority to negotiate trade agreements requires a review before tariffs can be halted on ``sensitive'' products.
