Now Obama is controlling how you get drunk.

You can't even drink your blues away. Obama wants to place a tax on Vodka Not just any Vodka but flavored Vodka. Meaning Obama wants you to drink only straight unflavored Vodka because of the CALORIES? When your are drinking the tax blues and the unemployment along with the foreclosures blues on your house Who give a carp about the calories.

Now Obama is controlling how you get drunk. You can get drunk and still pay high taxes but dont worry Obama gets top shelf Flavored Vodka free off your tax money. Michelle's new line is "let them drink unflavored Vodka"

  • 1. A Tax on Flavored Vodka
    President Obama wants to tax your Stoli Razberi.
    Distilled spirits currently get a tax break if they include flavors, but the president's budget proposal does away with that. Spirits are taxed at $13.50 per proof-gallon (a gallon of 100-proof liquor), but if distillers add flavorings, they can roll back some of that tax: Up to 2.5 percent of the alcohol in those flavoring mixtures is exempt from the spirits tax.
    It doesn't sound like much, but the Treasury claims this tax break gives an unfair advantage to flavored liquors, particularly foreign producers whose flavor quotients aren't restricted, as they are for U.S. producers. Heavily-flavored, foreign-made spirits can be sold cheaper, and consumers might be more likely to buy them than they otherwise would, Treasury argues.
    The new rule would be good for Jack Daniel's, bad for Absolute Citron.
