    Exclamation Democrats Vs Beer: Massive 1,900% tax increase on beer

    Yes you read that right 1 thousand, 900 hundred percent tax increase on beer. Note that they justify this giant increase on working Americans by saying beer costs the state money in healthcare - give up economic freedoms to leftwing Democrats and those leftwing Democrats will then go after social freedoms in the name of reducing their costs.

    Also I find it cute how I had to look up the 5 morons who proposed this law to find out that they are all Democrats as the article (like many in the Liberal media) never bothers to mention as it's obviously something negative against the party.

    "PORTLAND, Ore. -- Five Oregon state lawmakers want to impose a hefty tax on beer and have introduced a bill that brewers say would cripple them.

    1900% beer tax proposed

    Deschutes makes Oregon 150 brew
    Four Portland legislators joined a Springfield senator to introduce Oregon House Bill 2461, which would impose a $49.61 tax on each barrel of beer produced by Oregon brewers.

    The tax would raise revenue for the state at a time when budgets are running in the red. Specifically, the bill says it would fund prevention, treatment and recovery programs for those addicted to alcohol and other substances.

    The bill's language defends the tax by arguing alcoholism and “untreated substance abuse” costs the state $4.15 billion in lost earnings as well as more than $8 million for health care and nearly $1 billion in law enforcement-related expenditures. "

    Think Democrats will ever increase taxes on lattes?

    "To argue against any breach of liberty from the ill use that may be made of it, is to argue against liberty itself, since all is capable of being abused." – Lord George Lyttleton (1709-1773)

    Too bad it wasn't 3000%. 3000% sounds about right, 1900% is just another stupid compromise.

    Gay, fun-hating Democrats.
    There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

    Haha, ib1 and Watermark laugh because they aren't 21 and can't drink anyway. Talk about wanting to create bi-partisanship, these 5 politicians in Oregon are going to create bi-partisan hate against themselves with this stupid proposal.

    Seems like it.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    You know very well Dano uses the terms interchangeably. Usually he starts his thread "Liberal Democrat(s) hate(s)..." For some reason he always capitalizes "liberal."
