has proposed increasing the state beer tax by 33 percent, from 30 to 40 cents per gallon, to pay for infrastructure improvements

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?

Yeah, and when they came to tax my beer, I was all for it, for I didn't drink beer...

When they came to tax sweet and salty snacks, i was all for it, because I didn't eat those, and so forth and so on...

Soon enough, they will start taxing something that you do care about. Let's hope someone cares enough to stand up for you....

Well, I’d like to see a 30-40% increase in taxes on whatever legal good you enjoy consuming :P

Seriously though, I don’t like coffee, however, that doesn’t mean I support increasing taxes on Starbucks. Live and let live, and focus on starving the beast, instead of throwing it more meat.

You are posting to the wrong forum.

Try Democrat Underground.

Conservatives (generally) oppose tax increases on anything.
