But don't you already have that in the form of a local sales tax? Re. beer: in general I agree, but I found some great micro breweries in San Francisco & even over here we can get one of my favourites; Anchor Steam Beer.
Cheers, Chris.

Yes and no. Obamas' Vat would be yet another additional tax on top of local sales tax.
Dang right I'm a global warming skeptic. I remember being a kid in the 70s worried about another ice age that was going to throw the world into chaos. Its just another trick to seperate us from our money, our liberty, or both.
We are nothing to this planet. The entire collected human race is so inconsequential to the fate of this planet that all our hand wringing a feeble joke. The entire considerable and fantastic mass that is London or New York is no more to the planet than a colony of mites living at the base of your eyelash.
Can you see a coal mine from space? Didn't the volcano in Iceland spew out more harmfull chemicals in a minute than every car on the planet did for the entire length of the eruption? And THAT was a very small hiccup of an eruption barely qualifying for the word eruption.
And "They" want us to worry about our co2 emissions? We would do better to restrict the methane emissions from our own congress and house of Lords after a rich meal as methane is 1000 times more harmfull to the ozone layer and not nearly so easily respirated by the greenery.
Ok. Rant over,
Taxes and politicians will set me off everytime. Its like watching a magician with really slow hands.
