Socialism is alive and well in the BEER INDUSTRY.

I just saw BEER WARS.

While not a perfect movie, it does a good job of showing that the Beer Industry is Not a capitalist entity but instead a government protected monopoly.

Well worth a look.

1. Its only socialism if its not privately owned

Government protected monopolies are not socialistic. More like corporatism.

2. Not when the Government also makes a Direct profit off the Beer industry like it does.

The difference is subtle but it is well explained in the movie.

3. I guess I should watch it to understand what you mean

4. In a nutshell ...

How does the government make these profits ? ....

And who is the government ? .... Is it the likes of Charles Schumer and Harry Reid who pocket this ill gotten cash ? ... or is it citizens watching beer related revenues flow into public coffers ?

Please explain clearly so all can understand ...

BTW: I live in Portland Oregon ... Nuff Said ....
