About four twelve Republican college pupils are raising their voices in protestation over an issue near and dear to them: a new projected taxation on beer.

Assemblyman Jim Beall, D-San Jose, have proposed a taxation on suds shapers that would add almost $2 to the terms of a six battalion to assist get rid of the state's budget deficit.

But 21-year-old Leigh Wolf, a member of the San Francisco State University Republicans, states the taxation unfairly burthens mediocre college students, who often imbibe suds to loosen up at the end of a long twenty-four hours of school and work.

Others pupils protested outside of Beall's business office waving marks that read "No revenue enhancement on intoxication!"

Beall said the taxation would bring forth up to $2 billion a twelvemonth for law-breaking bar and programmes to forestall underage drinking.
