"Main Street Does It Better"

The National Federation of Independent Businesses did the following video about liquor privatization. It doesn't need much comment. This is all stuff that we see all the time. We know this. Send it to your Senator, and ask them why they want Pennsylvania to continue to lose this tax revenue, and why they want to continue to send Pennsylvanians out of state.

What's wrong with this picture?

Let's play a fun game. First, watch this video from the PA AFL-CIO about why the State Store System is a good thing. Really, watch the whole thing (especially the part where the last State Store worker left standing...makes an odd noise).



Now, how many misleading or flat-out ridiculous statements can YOU find? I'll start you out with an easy one...

1. If the state stores are privatized, PA will lose $500 million in revenue. No, about $400 million of that is taxes that will still come in through a privatized system, just like we still collect sales tax from, say, drugstores.

It's your turn...what else can YOU find?
