Bad government regulation never leads to the repeal of bad government regulation - it only begets more regulation.

I know NYS controlled keg deposits, but there they boosted it way above the cost of the keg, to 75 dollars. The purpose was to deter college students from being able to have multiple kegs at their parties. Since a keg of beast was only 55 dollars, you'd have to outlay more cash on the actual keg deposits than you could on the beer. Of course, if you had a house of 30 guys. That meant that all you did was shell out 10 bucks a piece at the beginning of the year, hand the money to the local beer store owner to hold onto for the rest of the year. Don't ask me how I know this. A low both reprehensible and useless. wow, just wow.
