Trying to eliminate dealerships beyond the already systematic consolidations that have taken place for the past 60 years will only serve to hurt the hard-working employees of those dealerships and their families; the numerous communities that rely on the taxes generated by those dealerships; the related businesses that sell to those dealerships; and the consumers who are served by the competition and convenience of the dealerships; and the numerous charitable organizations that benefit from dealers' support.
