PA Gov. Rendell is a Communist
I really used to like the like, but he is falling out of favor with me quickly.
Elimination or reduction of choice for no reason other than to fill the coffers of the government at the detriment of its citizens is usually called Communism - and that is what has been happening in the PA wine regulation industry for decades and decades.
I am sick of hearing that direct-to-consumer sales will put wine into the hands of minors in PA. The LCB of PA continues to tell us that this eveil will certainly happen if the state-run wine control industry does not handle all wine transactions.
This is despite the fact that NO MINOR IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would choose to drink wine over Peppermint Schnapps (ok, not a proven fact but pretty close :-), and despite the (more clearly proven) fact that NO OTHER STATE in the union that has had an issue with minors obtaining wine via a D2C system. Telling the citizens something that is untrue for no reason other than to fill the coffers of the government at the detriment of its citizens is usually called lying (but that one is a staple of politics no matter what the flavor...).
