"First they came for the smokers, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a smoker. Then they came for the fatties, and I didn’t speak up because I was skinny. Then they came for the drinkers, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."

So they will just tax something else when that revenue stream runs out? Great idea!

Is that tax in every state or what? I guess I didn't really notice any difference here.

Contrary to popular belief, we don't all live in California.

It sucks that such an awesome environment is wasted on the worst state (government) in the country.

I saw a 6 pack of Rolling Rock bottles for $9.99 last night. I'm in MD. Don't know if anythings changed here, but that is ridiculous.

Not in the "Live Free or Die" state! Everyone comes here to buy their booze. As a matter of fact, a MA state rep was just photogged the other day at one of our liquor stores stocking up on booze...and he was one of the principle state reps to recently place a sales tax on MA booze...which is in addition to a hefty excise tax they have always had on their booze...but they need the $$$ and ain't no way they are gonna cut spending so guess what? Give it to the morons who voted these hacks into office one more time, right up the pooper. Ka ching!!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
