Utah's Brilliant Legislature

So if you haven't heard already. Our wonderful law makers have made it so that wine coolers and Mike's Hard Lemonade are sold only in liquor stores. They did this under the guise that these drinks are a gateway for teens to drink alcohol. This comes as no surprise as a majority of our leaders are Mormon. However what they didn't tell you is that by doing this it changes the scheduling of the alcohol so it is now taxed as hard liquor. So what we really got was a tax increase in sheeps clothing. Good job Utah. While we are at it we might as well make beer sold only in the liquor store as well. That way we can ensure that teens are not stealing that as well. May be then they can use the tax increase from that so they can do something useful like buying back main street from the Mormons. Utah, Life Elevated!
