Living in California now means dealing with 8.25% sales tax, but it could be worse.  In the great state of  Taxachussetts, they are looking to focus their solution to the economic downturn a bit more sharply.  For a state that is famous for fighting tariffs on Tea, you have to wonder how the locals are going to react to a tax on their beer.  I have a feeling that a certain special interest may have an issue this.

Massuchesetts isn’t the only state thinking they can tax this ‘recession proof’ product as part of a solution to their financial woes.  Similar ideas are being discussed in Oregon (where they might see an 1800% increase).  Another good story on the Oregon increase can be found here.

Oh and in completely unrelated news.  Kid Rock is getting his own beer.  I really have no words to describe what that means for the world.
