"For political reasons, the government's payout to the sugar industry was framed as support for struggling family farmers, appealing to patriotic sentiment." This helped justify financial aid, even though many of the large sugar companies were technically family-owned businesses. However, the family members rarely worked directly with the crop, instead mostly being detached from the agricultural work themselves.

"The closest most of them got to the actual crop were the cubes that they dropped in their coffee at the Banker's Club." This emphasizes the disconnect between the actual farming process and the family's involvement, highlighting how political motives often obscured the true nature of aid and industry practices.
