Democrats Vs Beer: Massive 1,900% tax increase on beer

Well I'll tell you how I feel; I don't care.

That's pretty fucked up Darla. It is a regressive tax. Even if you are a state-loving, higher sin-taxing NAZI you should at the very least care that this would disproportionately affect poor people.

I think it's fucked up that anyone thinks it's fucked up to not care about a beer tax.

They didn't put a tax on anything. And from what I've read, this is unlikely to pass.

I could fill this board with outrageous initiatives presented by infinitesimely small groups of Republicans or Democrats that have little hope of passing.

Yeah... lorax... you were saying...

As I stated, in the proposal they put the tax on beer.... you tried to spin it to suggest I was implying that it had passed. Then went rambling on about filling the board with outrageous intitiatives that had little hope of passing.

I am sure you weren't trying to imply anything by that....
 
Epicurus said:
Well good, because it certainly comes across that way since you apparently have no other reason for supporting this.

Not caring about something does not indicate either support, or non-support.

I don't care.

If you don't know what that means, that's a problem for you. That's another thing I don't care about Epic!

You're right. Not caring about something does not indicate support or non support. But what truly indicates not caring about something is not posting in the thread to begin with.

Considering that you have posted on the thread and ignored numerous chances to state your opposition to this tax, I can only assume that you are in favor of it. If I am mistaken please correct me.

Very well stated. Of course she is in favor of it. It the Dems say 'tax it' she says 'OK!!!' then sips more kool aid.

I think this thread is hysterical. A microcosm of our cable news society. The thread interests me, the subject of it does not. I don't care about a beer tax. I don't support it or not support it.
 
It's kind of silly that the automatic assumption when a leftie jumps on a thread like this and doesn't say "I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms!", it automatically means that they support it, or that they are an "apologist."

This is a typical Dano thread, making a mountain out of a pea and painting Democrats with as wide a brush as possible, using the futile actions of a very small few. That's why the viability of such legislation is so salient to the discussion.
 
Onceler, if people like you, Dung, and Darla are opposed to this idea, then common sense would dictate that you should state your opposition when given numerous chances to do so.

It is not unfair of us to assume that you support it when you refuse five opportunities to oppose it.

What is even sillier is when lefties jump on this thread to rip on Dano for doing what so many of them have done with Republicans for the past several years.

Of course it is. This is a Dano thread. I'm not going to add credence to his idiocy & alarmism by contributing to it.

Beyond that, I said fairly early on that it was a stupid measure.

Bottom line, I'm opposed to the actual measure (which doesn't stand a chance), so your assumption was clearly wrong.

If you said that, then it I missed it.

But your above post was all we wanted to hear. Thanks.

It understandably looks evasive when people avoid taking positions on this.

Bottom line.... Lorax finally admits Dano was correct. Thanks Lorax.
