If You Choose To Be Sinful, Here Is Where You Should Go...

Freeman here.

Thanks to a terrific organization, The Tax Foundation, we can provide you choice-ophiles with the amount of "sin tax" you'll pay should you choose to indulge in sinful acts in a particular state. "Sin taxes" are so named because they are thought to be sinful activities- smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, gas consumption (?).

Interestingly enough, for beer, some of the lowest state rates are in Wisconsin, Missouri and Colorado, home to Miller, Anheuser-Busch and Coors respectively. But the lowest rates go to Wyoming- home to those brewing behemoths like Wind River Brewing, Snake River Brewing Company, Bitter Creek Brewery and Snowy Mountain Brewery. Strange indeed. And not only do those crazy Wyomans love cheap beer, but they also seem to have a state law requiring the inclusion of a flowing body of water or a geographical landmark in the name of every brewery in the state.

Recently, I moved from Ohio to Kentucky and observed that my sinful acts got cheaper across the board. Perhaps I can speak more about this a bit later... Freeman is a bit private.

Choice-ophiles-- tell us where you live and if your choice of residency was at all impacted by tax rates (sin taxes or otherwise).
