What do you think of the government raising the tax on adult (alcoholic) beverages by 229%?

I'm against ALL increases in taxes, even the "sin taxes" that don't affect me. I don't drink booze, smoke or drink sugar soda.

Why does every physique pick to tax each thing made, fed on, owned, and so on. At what think approximately time do you initiate retaining the politicians responsible for their strikes. end the particular hobbies and lobbyists from finding out to purchase them off and initiate representing the those that elected them. Its a similar subject with the demise and doom of Obama and corporation that have desperate its each and all the assurance firms fault. that's as dumb as a field of rocks, and you idiots purchase it. you pick to conceal the uninsured, strengthen medicaid. you pick to diminish expenditures, make every physique use a similar declare form. end worker subsidized assurance and alter it to open enrollment. Get the government out as coverage makers and permit the assurance regulators do their activity without political impression. we don't pick self-regularly occurring, self-serving, ineffective, smug fruit cakes like Obama, Pelosi and Reid attempting to dictate the thank you to run something. they could't even run their very own places of work much less a corporation. Get off this shall we bypass a regulation or tax and which will treatment each thing. that's the top of stupidity.

I think it's a good time to quit.They raised taxes on cigarettes just to help pay for health care for other peoples children.So I quit smoking.

It is an excise tax (sales tax on designated items, e.g. gasoline tax), which is perfectly legal under Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. Maybe use this tax to get rid of the income tax.

Does it matter? Last I heard it was scrapped. Sound like scare tactics. Like they are going to kill old people or that private health care will become illegal. It is tripe. Tax the top 1% they pay less here then anywhere in the world.

We do not drink alcohol , but it is wrong, something we really need will be next.

They'll have to wait for Ted Kennedy to die first.

Well if 79% of the people who use alcohol said yes, I guess it's OK.

I don't drink. More power to the US Government.

I had no idea. but I don't drink so , and smoke so I don't give a crap. bad for your health obama will let you die.
