Way to go, guys. One, I can accept the state having licensing powers for bars, stores, etc to ensure that the stuff won't make you blind (with normal use). But I don't see a reason for the government to be the middleman between distillers and sellers. Two, government is not supposed to be a for-profit organization. Ideally, it should be break even proposition, with emphasis on (don't laugh too much) minimal interference in daily life and maximum efficiency in the tasks it is allowed.
This, however, serves neither. It's a gross waste of funds for an exercise in vanity for the bureaucrats in Des Moines. I could build the State of Iowa a display case for liquor like this and install it for less than $3,000, and still come out ahead. And it would still be wrong.
