Local Congressman Wants To Lower Beer Tax - Web Exclusive News Story - WFMZ Allentown

Out of all the insanity ... this is actually a GREAT IDEA! Now, do this for ALL things that are manufactured and consumed/used here!!!!

Finally some good news.

Really?? The one tax they prob should not decrease. Beer is a luxury not a necessity. Beer doesn’t cost an arm and a leg unless you are in a baseball stadium.
When you can buy a case of beer for under 25.00 and go to a bar and get one for 1.00. Doesn’t seem to be a need to lower this.
What are they trying to accomplish by doing this? You lower property tax to increase home buyers. You lower corp. tax to create business.
You lower beer tax to create ....?
Micro brews are bombing doesn’t seem like we need to do this. It breaks down to be .33 a six pack. What is that .05 a beer?
Legalize pot and tax that.

He's got my vote for President !!!

Oh really ! You've NEVER had your school taxes lowered by the Homestead Act ???

i am on social security and can't afford beer. i truly think all governments should give retirees a case of beer every week. if you don't drink and drive they should give you more.

Ever here of happy hour? dollar drafts are a very common thing. A lot of bars also do weekend specials like 1.00 coronas on Sat till midnite. Some places do a pennie till you pee promo. 0.01 a beer until someone uses the bathroom. Bar around the corner from work is 1.00 drafts 4-7.

However you will have to buy...

The VFW is always 1.00 draft too.

PA already has some of the lowest beer taxes, yet it is more expensive, and inconvenient, to buy beer here. I seriously doubt that's going to change until we get rid of the archaic liquor code in this state.

yeah we need to do this dont we pay you to vote on important stuff this has to deal with what 1000 people in pa that work there? get a grip you returds need to do the job we vote you in to do.

Name the bar that sells Corona for a dollar
I didn't think so
