Just go and brew your own, and avoid the tax-guy.

Of course they do.
Dems haven’t met a tax yet they didn’t love.

I was always surprised at the low prices in NYC delis. I remember getting a six-pack of premium beers like Bass Ale, Becks, Coors for $7.

If Cuomo and Deblasio really want to take in the tax money all they need do is tax alcoholic beverages at the same rate tobacco products are taxed.
They could make the state and city solvent in six months!!

That’s a great way to put it; NJ has the same strategy - and both are paying dearly. Imported underclasses don’t replace middle-class Americans; it just doesn’t work.

They do mention wine.
The excise tax, paid by beer distributors, is currently 14 cents per gallon. Bills introduced ahead of the upcoming State Legislature session would raise that to 30 cents per gallon (that matches the states current excise tax on wine).

If they really want to raise revenue they should TAX All Legal Size paper at 10 cents a sheet.

The tax is always about the cause, not the corruption.
We signal our virtue to prevent alcoholism.
Instead, fat cats get their pensions paid by beer drinkers.
Put up a large sign at the bar. Paying beer tax to pay fat cat pensions.

Minnesota has a 9.8% sales tax on all alcoholic beverage products. Part of this tax went to build the billion dollar MN Vikings stadium the rest as my mother used to say goes to buy sand to fill rat holes...typical government boondoggles.
