It is NOT the responsibility of government to replace small businesses. If you want the nanny state just roll on over and let govt take care of you. I want free enterprise and smaller government. PA goes to far taking over all liquor stores. You will be sorry.
They haven’t replaced anything. The system has been in place since Prohibition ended.
I do not defend it except on the grounds I already stated - making changes now would not be in the interests of taxpayers or anyone else not connected to the politicians. It’s a simple concept.
