NOT AWESOME Beer Tax
So this is the worst news to come out since I have been born! Yeah there may have been wars and fires and aliens and shit, but this tops them all. Oregon lawmakers are discussing adding a massive 1900% beer tax. Considering I love beer and it is one of Oregon’s greatest exports this is just plain dumb. We might as well tax shoes and microprocessors while we are at it. Lets really throw this economy down the shitter! I am eying a new cardboard box to live in, it’s nice and has a window.
Be sure to call (503-236-4078) or e-mail (ben@votebencannon.com) that jackass Ben Cannon who is heading this and let him know what a douche he is. I’ll bet he never got invited to parties in High School and wants to take it out those of us having fun living life. I am emailing him this link right now

You are right Flavr, Public Enemy would fight the power!
What an ass-hat that Ben Cannon is.
This is now on his wikipedia:
“Cannon is currently heading a campaign to increase the beer tax 1900%, which should stop him from being elected office ever again.”
Obviously ol’ Ben Cannon had his ‘beer goggles’ on when think up this one. Zing!
This is what I think of Ben Cannon:

he probably only wants to increase it moderately, but to get attention he is suggesting an absurd increase and people will think that if he is suggesting such a large increase there is a need and will be open to a modest one. typical lawyering. what a douche.
Slippery Slope, Slippery Slope… Anyone go to school with this guy in West Linn?
TT,
As a former beer drinker, I am outraged by this proposed tax. I have sent an email to Mr Cannon expressing my deepest concerns.
Dingo
Got here late, but a “Fire Cannon” joke is still relevant.
guy looks too young to drink beer.
What a douchebag
He just has that Douchebag look to him. And he totally acts like one, just watch one of his lame-ass videos on youtube. Who voted him representative anyway?
A big thumbs down to the beer tax!
Fire the Cannon!
Hey guys, thanks for emailing this Cannon… I am sure many of you got the standard reply back, but I personally got something special at the beginning of the email:
“Hi Tyler,
My standard response follows. But before I get to it, I want to note that calling someone an “jackass” isn’t a very good way to get them take you seriously. I’m genuinely interested in hearing what people think about this, and it has been helpful to hear how passionately people feel on both sides of the issue. There’s an opportunity for us to have a real dialogue about beer taxes; let me assure you, I’m open to learning more about the issue. But a little courtesy goes a long ways.”
FIGHT THE POWER!
