Originally from Chicago, Jonathan Rodgers is lucky to be alive. He started using drugs at 8, dropped out of school at 14, went to jail where he earned his GED, and fought his way out of a heroin addiction. He has bounced between the streets, detox facilities, and shelters since arriving in San Francisco five years ago, when he started using speed daily.

<p>I just heard that Bush and company is trying to pass a law that adds extra taxs to cheap beer like Milwaukee best and naturl light. He is going to raise the taxs on these bears by a nikel so he can recoop his money loses in the irag war. He and his old guys party the repitleublicans want to sock to the little guy and college guys like me who can only offord cheap bear and not the good stuff like all you chumps drink that sam adems and budwizer and coors lite and other big shot drinks. Give me a brake. Bush is not going to tax those bears because all his rich buddys drike them so he will tax all the people that didnt vote for him in the erection of 04. It is pay back for us not cow towing to his right wing aganda that only serves to destory the poor and working stifs like me and my mom and dad. So when I go to by some natey lite toniht with my fake id (scew the govement!!!) I will stock up and by maybe 3 or4 cases to hold me over so Bush won't be able to tax me and my bear and get himself out of that mess of a war in the muddle east. If I were you I would do the same and show Bush and his company of hooligans that we can't be taxed and tricked like little cirus animals that are beaten to dance and do tricks for use humans. Have a good day and don't let them know your on to them, that you know that they are trying to keep us down. Slowly now slowly we turn the tide!!!!</p>
