Minnesota wants to raise the alcohol tax by 300%.

Mathematically, Minnesota sucks.

<a href="http://Openmarket.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Openmarket.org</a> kinda sucks mathematically too.

“The tax on spirits would jump from $5.03 per gallon to $17.82 per gallon. The tax on wine would increase from $0.95 per gallon to $8.24 per gallon, and the beer tax would increase from $2.40 per 31-gallon barrel to $13.97 per 31-gallon barrel.”

According to my calculator, that’s a 354% increase in taxes on spirits, 867% on wine, and 580% on beer!

I wish Minnesota wasn't so far from Texas. If they pass that tax I could make some extra spending money running whiskey and vodka over the border. Who do we write to get them to pass a 300% cigarette tax?

I think your real worry should be that Minnesotans will move to Texas.
