New York lawmaker proposes to more than double beer tax

An excise tax on beer would go from 14 to 30 cents per gallon. The assemblyman proffering that bill says money could help fund public universities.

The irony of this is that ny state gave tax breaks (maybe still does) to breweries to get started. I do business with a couple of breweries and they were happy to get the breaks and all I could think was how is ny going to fuck them over later.

And anyone else laugh a little at this: “Assemblyman Epstein’s bill”

No longer Secret, thanks DR. Evil
I drink very little beer, so something like this affects me none.

What does effect me though, is the money being taken away from the good people of this fucking state in order to give cheaper, or free college education to undeserving scum. I do not want to pay for the poor and unmotivated. I do not want to pay for the illegal population. I do not want to pay for the lazy not willing to work while in school.

I am beyond tired of this shit.

Yup, I haven't had a drink in almost 18 years, so this doesn't affect me AT ALL.

I agree that it's bullshit for this state to continually dream up more ways to squeeze blood from the stone. That shit affects every one of us.

Who do these dirtbag politicians think their fooling, we all know whatever revenue this generates will just go into pay raises for themselves, how about they pass a law capping their salaries. For what it’s worth I drink about one 12 pack a year

If they want to reduce the price of college, they should stop underwriting loans for useless degrees.

That would drastically reduce the demand for degrees and the price would fall accordingly.

It would also end the problem of people going $100k in debt and ending up with degree in medieval lesbian dance theory.

The irony . . . raising the excise tax on beer to pay for college when college students are the biggest consumers of beer. Kind of like self funding.

Except it’s not really going to go for anything except to pad the fucking general fund. Any additional tax proposals that pass go directly into the general fund for those greedy muther fuckers to do what they wish with. Anyone who believes otherwise are sheep.

No one needs 12 Heinekens to get their drunk on, that’s not who New Yorkers are, that’s not who we are. 12 packs are now banned and carrying capacity will be 7 bottles unless you are law enforcement.

I would love to learn more about that. Is there perhaps any movies on the internet I could watch about medieval lesbian dance? You know, for education purposes
