   I am sure it goes to general revenue for politicians to spend on some   
   partisan pet program that will not benefit you or I much if at all.   
      
   When it comes to government, it's all about your money going to them.  LCBO   
   is a cash cow for Ontario's provincial government.  At least 50% of the cost   
   of a basic beer is taxes! (not including deposit).   
      
   Beer is easy and cheap to make.  I now even skip the kits, but kits are a   
   good place to start.   
      
   I hear beer is cheaper in Quebec than Ontario?  Is this correct?
