Under a "Futarchy", the corn lobby can spend lots of money to "predict" that a sugar tariff will make the country better.

To do that they would have to bet a lot of money that the tariff will make the country better (by an objective metric which is decided upon by the voters), and if that turned out wrong, they would lose a lot of money.
