SACRAMENTO - Joe Six-pack will have to pay a lot more to get his buzz on if Assemblyman Jim Beall has his way.
The San Jose Democrat on Thursday proposed raising the beer tax by $1.80 per six-pack, or 30 cents per can or bottle. The current tax is 2 cents per can. That's an increase of about 1,500 percent.
Beall said the tax would generate $2 billion a year to fund health care services, crime prevention and programs to prevent underage drinking and addiction.

Yep, make it legal and tax it.
This might be a conspiracy among the pot dealers to boost sales; I'd check into that politician's connections...
Seriously though, that's outrageous. Surely it won't pass, at least not anywhere near that rate.
If they tried that in Texas they'd have a revolution.
