Ken May Be Moving Soon

Not that this has much of a chance of being enacted in it's entirety

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.

I love the "Joe Six-pack" slap at folks. Yes, anyone who likes an occasional beer is some low edjumacated boor who fills his tanks with suds between bouts of hittin' the missus and watching NASCAR.

Sounds like Beall tore a page out of Obama's playbook...

And what, pray tell, are these new taxes supposedly going to fund? Is it For The Children (tm)?

That sounded vaguely like a threat, Mr. Summers. I suggest you temperance your language, a-migo.

This is a bold step towards eradicating bitter beer...drinkers.

Tar and feathers, baby. It's a time-honored American tradition.

Bitter Beer? Is that Obama's favorite Pennsyltucky brew?

Obama? Drink beer? That beverage is for the common masses, doncha know, Bingster?

The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.

Or was it the flagon with the Dragon?...

Oh, and by the by, Beall is one of the same group of fascist turds that did this. [spit]
