I personally don't drink beer and rarely drink alcohol at all..... (turns into a semi-formaldahyde in your body and depletes your seratonin). But there are many that do and to punish them for doing so, so that we may have a President who runs deeper red ink than ever before cut taxes on the rich is pathetic and unjust.
Where are the capital gains taxes? Where are raising tarriffs? Where is an inheritance tax? Why tax those who can not afford to be taxed more when they choose to try to enjoy themselves a little? While the upper echelons (and I'm not talking anyone making less than a million), keep getting their taxes cut?
From replies on here I can see that the right cares not about the problems that face the cities, states and even the nation but about their own wallets. Perhaps if we raised tarrifs and taxed companies that sent jobs overseas we would be able to build a tax base where the burdens could be shared equally..... But the Right refuses to allow or want to even discuss that.
They would rather tax the beer and the alcohol and items that the lower classes on average spend more on, than to set a flat income tax or tax lurury items or have an inheritance tax.
As Pink Floyd sang:
Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.
Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.
Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
