Your viewpoint is limited. In 2012, we contributed over $3,000,000 in tax revenue to our local municipality and state. You are correct, dealership do take up valuable real estate. However, with the average dealership consuming 10+ acres, if that same land were sub-divided and sold to smaller retailers, the tax generated from those sales would never come close to the taxes generated by a dealership. Not to mention they would not employee the same number of employees dealerships do. If this tax base is eliminated, the burden would be shifted to the private citizen. Is that what you really want?
