    RESTORING ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS

    In response to repeatedly bearing witness to the influence of the beer and wine lobby and its devastating impact on legislation that precludes the potential for the parity that is critical for distillers, like Silverback, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Denver Riggleman has created the bipartisan political action committee, Restoring Economic Fundamentals (REF). After seeing the bank roll of the beer, wine, restaurant lobbyists chart a narrow path of legislation that cripples the ability for other small businesses to flourish and themselves become economic powers that anchor and support the communities that surround them. REF is the vehicle with which we aim to reach out to citizens and send a powerful message to legislators that voting on principle must be paramount and supersede the ruling influence of high dollar donors with exclusionary interests.

    Is this significantly different than taxed individuals celebrating the people that didn't want to pay the tax in the Tea Party?

    Forgive my shameful ignorance, but I must ask: what prompted governmental taxation and regulation of distillation? My first thought would be that it was to get in on the ground floor of a good government scam. But what would have been the real reasons, vis-à-vis the stated for both taxation and, more importantly to me, regulation (licensing and so forth)?

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    I think I might be the ignorant one here, I'm not sure I'm getting your point. If it's merely "taxation and licensing are bad," we're in agreement here. The Whiskey Rebellion event is a fundraiser for a Virginia PAC that aims to reduce both. I don't know the founder (Riggleman), but I know two other guys that are involved with the PAC and they are solid Ron Paul guys.
