said by wolfox  :Here in the US, thanks to the Bureau Of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, there is nearly an across the board 300% *Federal* tax on the items mentioned in the name of that bureau. Then you pay whatever else your local state taxes pile on top. Think of how cheap all above items would be without a federally mandated 300% mark-up before it is even wholesaled? What I really wonder is where all of that cash goes?! Had to respond to a fellow Arkansan..
It goes to the 'slush' fund  Which helps ATF agents buy houses, cars, and funds the 'War on Drugs'

said by technick :Stupid law makers... Tax Beer! Beer is already severily taxed, here in Canada I think the figure approaches 50% that the gov't rapes on tax.

So that means I don't have to pay it even if I lived in Wisconsin. So well if it's optional, i'll never pay. But then again, why the hell are they taxing stupid things like this on the internet? Stupid law makers... Tax Beer! |
