Tax and Spend Happy California at it Again!

California is at it again. Article Here
"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."

Tax and Spend policies in America have gotten so far out of control. The founding of our country was on Freedom, liberty, and Personal Responsibility. Our current elected officals have lost site of this and now are pushing to control every aspect of our lives. It is time "The People" fought back and asked for the end of Big Government and a return to personal responsiblity!
