Would you please send me a copy of the document that tells me what I have to charge my customers for a beer at my bar?

ROTFLMAO. Pitiful.

I do not want to get in trouble with the government price control board.

So if the government tells you who you have to buy your beer from and what the local taxes are, that's not price control? I mean, you could sell it a loss I suppose. Based on your other comments, I don't doubt it.

When they regulate your business and tell you how much you have to pay your waitresses, they don't set the price?

You support minimum wage laws or not? You seem to keep ignoring that question.

Minuim wage, labor needs some means of protecting itself from capitalism, personally I would favor collective bargaining over minuim wage, but since collective bargaining is all bbut dead in the USA I suppose minum wage is better then nothing. But I do have mixed feeling about it.
