Hello,
How about this? It's about time that beer and liquor are taxed. If Gov. Doyle wants to know where to get money to balance the WI budget, just raise the taxes on beer and liquor like taxes on cigarettes have been raised. That will take care of two problems; more money for Wisconsin to balance budget and less drunks on the road killing innocent people who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time!!!

Ann,

If you think increasing the tax on beer will keep the drunks off the road, think again. Furthermore, most of the people that drink beer do so in the privacy of their home.

If you what to take the drunks off the road just increase the cost of driving drunk. Let the drunk pay not everyone that drinks beer.

Wisconsin can balance the budget by not spending more money than they have. I have to live on a budget so I think that the state government should also have to live on a budget.

I have a feeling that you just want to dictate you morals value on others and you think that the beer tax will do just that.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Aquarius

If you're still happily munching chocolates and all sorts of other goodies, you'll have to take yourself in hand at some point during the coming fortnight. Maybe you'll have to compensate for all the festive over-eating by taking more exercise or cutting back on the calories, or perhaps you'll decide that you can't delay giving up smoking any longer. As Mercury turns in your twelfth house of secrets, messages you receive at this time may be very subtle or contain hidden meanings meant only for your understanding.
