I use to have a soft-spoken boss named David Weed who looked a bit like Bill Gates. Of course I do not make fun of peoples names, because is pretty funny too
The liberals (Progressives) have to go. They are too stupid for their own good and definitely way to stupid for the national good.
I think this is more a lesson in the fact that Democrats will tax anything and everything as much as humanly possible.
Since I don't drink beer very often I'm all for it. In fact, I'd even support a 30 - 40 cent increase per bottle or can.......
How can anyone argue against the fact that alcohol consumption has destroyed more lives than any other consumable product?
When they came to tax sweet and salty snacks, i was all for it, because I didn't eat those, and so forth and so on...
Soon enough, they will start taxing something that you do care about. Let's hope someone cares enough to stand up for you....

Well, I’d like to see a 30-40% increase in taxes on whatever legal good you enjoy consuming :P
Seriously though, I don’t like coffee, however, that doesn’t mean I support increasing taxes on Starbucks. Live and let live, and focus on starving the beast, instead of throwing it more meat.
You are posting to the wrong forum.
Try Democrat Underground.
Conservatives (generally) oppose tax increases on anything.
Kalifornia is 46th? Are they not counting Cervesa?
You already did my friend, tobacco.
There weren't many so called conservatives around here who supported us smokers against the resident nico-nazis during the tobacco war of a few years ago and now it's coming around to bite YOU in the ass........
I argued back then that alcohol would be the next target and the nico-nazis ignored it and continued their assault on us.
Well, payback is a bitch isn't it?

No I'm not, see my post #12.
Hey, don’t direct your wrath on that one towards me, I’m a smoker too, and I opposed all the taxes and smoking bans as well. You see, I’m consistent in opposing vice taxes, and pretty much all taxes, whether they affect me or not. I hardly drink beer anymore either, but I oppose this.
Well, the article talks about the substitution effect, so maybe now that they have “medical” marijuana, they aren’t drinking as much.
Apologies.
I do too but I'm trying to make a point.......
Very few FReepers stood by us when the nico-nazis were attacking us here on FR so I'll be damned if I'm going to support those same people who are now crying foul on alcohol taxes........
I agree with you. Very few Freepers stood by us when cig taxes were being raised again and again.
Let me go on the record as being in favor of complete freedom as regards vices such as nicotine and alcohol. Just be willing to live with the consequences of your actions...
