Lower the Beer Tax!
Oh happy day! Oh joy! A favorite bill around the WashingtonWatch.com international headquarters has been reintroduced!
S. 1058 would lower the tax on beer to its pre-1991 level.
Now, I don’t know what its pre-1991 level was, but evidently it’s lower – meaning: our small, cautiously used beer fund could go just a little bit further.
It was Benjamin Franklin who said, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Given all the stuff in the Constitution or whatever about “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” – i.e. beer – it could be that the passage of this bill is a constitutional right.
Here’s the current vote on S. 1058. Click to vote, comment, learn more, belch, or edit the wiki article on the bill.

The only tax that is clean and not hidden in some way from the tax payer is an income tax which should be levied on all income and only on individual income income.
No business pays taxes. They are just a government appointed tax collector. The congress is hoping that we never find out that they have assigned tax collector status to businesses and that the businesses are allowed to mark the taxes up with a profit for the cost of collecting them and remitting them to the government.
Come on people. Do you remember the State sales tax receipt stamps that we used to get to prove that the tax was being paid to the government. A book of $10.00 in sales tax receipts cost the business between $8.00 and $9.00. Now, we just don’t get the receipt to prove that the tax was paid to the governemnt.
ALL TAXES ARE PAID BY INCOME EARNERS.
