Anheuser-Busch Lobbies Against the "Stone Bill"

Big business once again attempts to use the levers of government to stifle competition.

Anheuser-Busch has begun a heavy push against the so-called Stone Bill, writing a letter to state senators and urging them to strike down the amendment aimed at creating more jobs and expanding the state’s craft beer industry.

This is why I'm always saying that there's a big difference between being in favor of big business and being in favor of free markets. Big business invariably attempts to use government to stifle the free market.

Once again, this is why a smaller government (one that interferes less in the free market) is better than a government that tries to manage the free market.
