Fortunately, Uncle Sam will take care of that sooner or later. Good thing I stick to scotch. Oh wait, that's next. Just wait for the next round of ideas that are originated from the PRB.

I don't drink beer so I don't care if they tax it! There. I said it. :D OK, seriously now: Half my money goes to taxes and I'm not even being represented on things I agree with. They just take my money and spend it on what THEY want. They could give a rodent's donkey what I want. Where's a lawyer that will take a case pro bono to sue the government for spending my tax money on things I am strongly against. For example: using the fees I pay to ride on public land to try to get that public land closed to riding. Someone has to say it, so…

And what ever happened to the good old day when they tried to enforce the whiskey taxes and they would end up tar and feathering the tax collectors and running them out on a rail.

One of the democrats wants to put 6 or 7 cents onto the already overtaxed gasoline in California. Why you ask! To combat global warming! Give me a break! These politicians disgust me beyond description. It would be nice to make the California legislature part time and pay them part time. The legislation they produce is mostly nannism!
