Conversing with yourself now? You are stooping to a new low, GT.

I just went online and checked booze prices on Total Wine for Minnesota and SC…same damn prices and comparable to my local package store and Wal Mart…this article makes no sense…

I hate to say this, but this “Red Dot” government protected industry should just be eliminated by allowing grocery and convenience stores to sell liquor. Put a hefty tax to deal with its social consequences and enforcement and be done with it. I believe that is how other states like Louisiana do it.

In some states you can only have so many ‘liquor’ licenses in an area…the owner retains it until he/she sells it…

And put all us family owned Liquor/Wine stores that have been in business for over 30 years out of business. Stores with head quarters out of state take their money out of state. My families money stays right here locally. Which is better for our community?

Those who have invested in the current system should be compensated, but, in the end, the only reason any business should exist is because it provides a market sustainable service. No business should exist merely because of unnecessary government regulations. That waste resources that could be put use use providing needed services.

I thought DOR was owned by the wholesalers and distributors who oppose Total Wine?? How can they be cozy with both? Or is this site also owned by the wholesalers and distributors?

Those with interests in the current system are nice and cozy with state government too. It’s a rigged system as well. Here in Republican Nirvana, let’s get the government out of the liquor business. How about a true free market? I don’t buy liquor or wine at Total Wines. Why? Their prices are too high.

“Here in Republican Nirvana, let’s get the government out of the liquor business.”

But then the Republicans would have to turn their hypocrite cards back in.

” How about a true free market? I don’t buy liquor or wine at Total Wines. Why? Their prices are too high.”

Kudos to your for seeing why the prices are high and what the solution is to lowering them.

Sadly, our masters can’t be bothered with allowing in state plebs the luxury of counseling and/or fun out of a bottle without paying homage to their betters.

We should all be thankful they aren’t taxing the air we breathe yet. So we still have the luxury of free breathing for now.

Wonder if lobbyist Balen Moore and DOR director Rick Reams are tight? You know, those good ole boys stick together right. Someone should check if Moore hunts at Reams’ plantation in the low country.

A young man is sent to the state pen and is put in a cell with an old man.
The young guy asks, “Hey, old man, what are you in for?” The old geezer
says, “Moonshine, boy.” “Huh, old man, was it any good?” “Hell yes, son –
I got one year to the gallon!”
