SACRAMENTO - Joe Six-pack will have to pay a lot more to get his buzz on if Assemblyman Jim Beall has his way.

The San Jose Democrat on Thursday proposed raising the beer tax by $1.80 per six-pack, or 30 cents per can or bottle. The current tax is 2 cents per can. That's an increase of about 1,500 percent.

Beall said the tax would generate $2 billion a year to fund health care services, crime prevention and programs to prevent underage drinking and addiction.

"The people who use alcohol should pay for part of the cost to society, just like we've accepted that concept with tobacco," Beall said.

They will next tax the food they deem you shouldn't eat.

Somehow I doubt you'll be dumping your beer into the Pacific to protest.

Why pluralize it to "democrats"? So far, you have shown one Democrat.

Second, we broke away from England not for taxation but for taxation without representation. Where is the "without representation" part? Work on your metaphors.

Yeah, but they kept the good beer.

Troll

Desperation. Poor Stock.

Desperate? It just keeps coming and coming. I am trying to turn the tide here.

Exactly...

Do you think raising the tax on beer 1500% is a good idea? Especially when the price of everything else is skyrocketing?

You're going to make us cling to guns and god if you keep this up.

search "republicans."

you seem so familiar, yet i still can't place you

From "nothing at all" to "not a big amount"?

A whole 30 cents? Awwww...

I figured it out.

He can't handle syntax. He can't handle sin tax, either.

It's homonyms, people. He can't handle homonyms.

So, is it the homo he can't handle (ooooo, saucy ), or the nyms?

My own theory is that stockula is actually some sort of performance art event, trying to see how far it can go without being spotted and nominated for a prize.

Homonyms have the right to marry just like anyone else!

Perhaps 180 cents per six pack is excessive. As I think about it that is about the same as the increase in a gallon of gas since the brain-dead one has been Der fuehrer. But are you whining about that one? And what the f&^% your in Alaska with the idiot bridge to nowhere senator. Enjoy your oil revenues.

I take no issue with this tax whatsoever.

To everyone who didn't give a fuck when they raised taxes on cigarettes and said "I don't care, i don't smoke, why don't you just quit?"

I now have something to say to you.

"I don't care, i don't drink, why don't you just quit?"

Out of all the things our administration is doing, i am not going to take arms, attempt to rebel and overthrow over beer.

I am sure you are weeping about that extra 180 cents as you pay for that 2009 Dodge Ram, cry me a fucking river.

*shrugs* I mostly drink wine.

Miller Lite should be taxed for being so bloody awful.

Cigarettes kill.

Beer makes you strong.

"First they came for the smokers. But I don't smoke, so I said nothing."

You should tell that to Zombie Alexander Hamilton and his pal, Zombie George Washington, since the very first tax levied by the federal government after the ratification of the Constitution was a tax on alcohol.
