Lawmakers are proposing alcohol tax increases across the country that will put jobs in your community at risk and raise the cost of your favorite drink. There's a real price to pay when elected officials misguidedly try to replenish state budgets with regressive taxes that will hit us at a time when we are already being hit hard economically.
The real victims of these tax increases are the workers in the hospitality industry – your local hotels, bars, and restaurants that rely on alcohol sales. In fact, the last time they raised taxes on alcohol, $1.3 billion in wages were lost, while 98,000 people found themselves out of work.
Hardly sounds fair, does it?
