Hey! We got ripped off in this "expose"! Readers here know that ONLY California noodges taxes ...
States Find Ways to Raise Taxes Without Saying So - ABC News

If it becomes widely known that other states are doing it too, how are we gonna remain #1 in perceived injustices against innocent citizen victims, as so many here consider themselves to be in Kalifornia?

California doesn't have to noodge them. Kalifornians love being taxed so much they vote for more, especially for other people.

Correct, California is the only place in America where people vote for higher taxes on other people.

Really? I didn't know that. Tell us more. No one else has a Prop. 30?

Once again you attempt to ascribe to another something not stated by them. Try being original so your own statements stand alone. You're welcome!

It was sarcasm. EVERY state has people that vote for taxes on people other than themselves.

Yep look what TN did.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Tennessee's new beer tax law goes into effect on July 1, changing the basis for the tax from price of beer to volume.

It's a change local brewers and beer enthusiasts have rallied in support of for months.New Tennessee beer tax law goes into effect July 1

Oh look at what it does: Walker says the change is going to mean a cheaper price for beer all around, including for consumers.

I will drink to that.

What tax in CA actually drops the price of anything?
