A lot of the damage done by the first President Bush on taxes has been repaired. The “luxury taxes” he increased are now gone. But he also doubled the federal tax on beer, from $9 to $18 a barrel, and that levy remains in effect. Taxes (not just the federal ones) account for 44 percent of the price of beer. Now Republicans Chris Cox of California and Phil English of Pennsylvania, both House members, have introduced a bill rolling back Bush’s tax increase. It would knock $1.25 off the price of a case of beer. What’s not to like?
