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?

The tax is actually a carbon tax on the CO2 effervescence released when the top is removed. Beer and all fermented liquids are a significant CO2 source.
The same is true of untaxed soft drinks. Coke and Pepsi should be taxed as well. CO2 is killing us.
This will go over well.
