BOB's Tuesday Toast - 7/9/13

Here’s to lawmakers -
Who levy a variety of taxes on cigarettes -

May they realize how much more $$$ they could make -
If they levied the same taxes on beer - ;))

===

BOB quit smoking cold-turkey several years ago -

And has often wondered why it was OK -

For cigarettes to be taxed so heavily -

But NOT OK for beer to be taxed at the same rates - ;))

If the same taxes that are levied on a pack/carton of cigarettes -

Were levied on a 6-pack/case of beer -

Just imagine the tax revenue that would generate!! - ;))

And -

BOB thinks that beer/alcohol is a mood-altering drug -

And should be regulated as such -

But it's not - ;))

I guess it’s because beer -

Is socially acceptable -

And so much better for you -

Than cigarettes -

And you can’t have FUN -

Without the beer - ;))

But let me ask you this -

If you see a fight break out -

In the stands/parking lot at a sporting event -

Do you suppose that they were smoking cigarettes -

Or drinking beer? -

I'd go with drinking beer - ;))



But then again - it’s probably just me - ;))
