So just something to put out here during the debate stage. The Revenue Enhancement Act as amended, which is awaiting a final vote in the House, increases the excise tax on alcohol from the present rate to $15 per proof gallon. The law has not yet changed however so Encke's numbers are for the time being correct. Just take note that if the revenue Enhancement act is passed, the net gain from the tax change proposed here will be reduced. A fix for that would be to dedicate the alcohol tax change from the revenue Enhancement act towards this bill to keep the numbers Encke offered steady, although Pericles has a bill claiming 90% of all revenue from the revenue Enhancement act so yall might have to figure that out since there may not be enough money for both.
Id much more prefer you taking the alcohol money and Pericles getting none if you can negotiate it.
I fully support this bill under this plan.^
