OUTRAGE!

Oregon lawmakers propose 1900% increase in beer tax

Four Portland legislators joined a Springfield senator to introduce Oregon House Bill 2461, which would impose a $49.61 tax on each barrel of beer produced by Oregon brewers.

What they say they will use the money for:

The tax would raise revenue for the state at a time when budgets are running in the red. Specifically, the bill says it would fund prevention, treatment and recovery programs for those addicted to alcohol and other substances.

Kinda like the tobacco money was used for prevention and treatment? On principle, the people of Oregon should call for the impeachment of these five and to have them tarred and feathered. Damn communists!
