		Third, Breaux told the Times-Picayune "we are talking about future tax reform." His clients "would all play by whatever rules are in existence at the time." But the worry isn't that Breaux's clients will break the law; it's that they'll prevail upon him to recommend laws favorable to them.
		In 1981, Breaux supported one of President Reagan's budgets on the condition that Reagan preserve tariffs on imported sugar — a loathsome form of corporate welfare that raises food prices and hurts the poor in order to subsidize the sugar industry, much of which is based in Louisiana.

		Breaux succeeded Bill Clinton in 1991 as chairman of the centrist and Southern-tinged Democratic Leadership Council, and he's been the scourge of several liberal interest groups.
		For example, for the 106th Congress, the ACLU gave Breaux a dismal rating of 29 out of 100, which tied him for the lowest among Democratic senators with Nevada's Harry Reid, and put him far behind more progressive northern Republicans like James Jeffords of Vermont, who scored a 71.
