Yes, I do support an end to taxes on liquor, tobacco etc. The government is making value judgements as to what is ‘right and wrong” and has exploded into PC, food police and how much money one should pay for doing well in our society. The boys that started the Whiskey Rebellion in 1789 were right. The Federal Government began taxing whiskey to pay off the national debt back then and it’s snowballed since then. Look at the Federal income tax. It was never approved by the states but we still have it due to Federal fiat.

I see your point.

Do you support legalizing marijuana? If so, do you agree that legalization with a 'sin tax' is an improvement over the current prohibition?
