Re: Beer and taxes
I am puzzled when people refer to the wealthy getting "breaks". They don't get any breaks that others don't get except for the lowest earners get a standard deduction which is often higher than what their itemized deductions would be. The wealthy get slammed with the alternative minimum tax. Something that would be unheard of to hit the four beer drinkers with. A flat tax would be a huge benefit to the wealthy so there is not resistance there. Resistance is mostly from Congress as politicians would lose control in shifting various benefits around to their favorite groups (supporters), etc.
