Beer tax on tap for health care?
By: Associated Press - Texarkana Gazette -   Published: 05/21/2009

WASHINGTON—Joe Six-Pack may have to hand over nearly $2 more for a case of beer to help provide health insurance for all.

Details of the proposed beer tax are described in a Senate Finance Committee document distributed to lawmakers before a closed-door meeting Wednesday. Senators are focusing on how to pay for expanding health insurance for an estimated 50 million uninsured Americans, a cost that could range to some $1.5 trillion over 10 years.

...

While many of the revenue raisers involve obscure provisions of federal law, most consumers can relate to a beer tax.

Taxes on wine and hard liquor would also go up.

Just some more shit from the same shit heads.

Well, there goes more of my inheritance. My dad told me when the cigarette tax went up and he was spending $6 more per carton that he'd have to dig into the money he set aside for me to pay for it. (though having to be on oxygen did cut way back on his smoking. Fire hazard, y'know.)

He drinks two 30-packs of beer a week. So I guess if this goes through I can thank Obama for adding to the estate tax in this backhanded way.
