BID FOR 145% BEER-TAX HIKE

WASHINGTON — Drunk on power and dazed by ambition, members of Congress have stumbled upon a novel way to keep their spending binge rolling — and leave American taxpayers with the hangover.

Under a Senate proposal, Congress would raise the federal excise tax on beer by 145 percent to more than $3 a case.

Uncle Sam also would snatch an additional $7 on a case of wine — a staggering increase of 233 percent and an additional 20 percent on hard liquor sales.

The back of my condo backyard is adjacent to a citrus grove--every time I've seen the da truck cruise up the dirt road I notice he slows way down and gives my bines a good once over....?????

Yeah, I am a Muslim and I like beer.

No doubt you've heard of the Jihadist Muslims. Well, just think of me as a Jiahu'ist Muslim.

I may be wrong on this one but, I doubt Allah has as big an issue with me strapping on a sixer of Chateau Jiahu as he does with the other "good muslims" that prefer to strap on a sixer of C4.

I wish they would just go back to running up a huge debt and not taxing us to pay for it-that worked so well in the past.

Just as this makes the hop shortage appear trivial, the coming changes will make a 20$ beer look like a real bargain!
Just Watch!

Viva La Revolucion! It's about time we get our voices heard... This is madness! The government is taking from us (low paid citizens) in the form of ridiculous taxes and giving it back to large corporations. As a 25 year old with a new house and tons of student loans, I severly hate the fact that Uncle Sam has already "stolen" over $15,000 from me this year alone. Really? Just another reason for us to homebrew.
