This is another example of how we are taxed, but the taxes are hidden from us. When you buy a bottle of liquor, half the cost currently is tax. We need to educate ourselves on how we are taxed. I am tired of lawmakers thinking that they can get away with another tax because they can hide it from the taxpayer.

Typical democrat thinking... punish everybody with a tax to pay for the minority who can't perform in a normal society.

Less than $0.50 per bottle to keep drunks off the streets (improving our police force) and help poor people who need help paying for treatment services. Seems pretty fair to me. Too bad conservative opposition for a good bill is going to cost us losing I-960... good going guys.
