One reason I focus specifically on taxes is that I think the country is facing some future fiscal policy choices in which *all* the available options are politically unpalatable, so I'd like to see this particular unpalatable idea in the mix. https://t.co/FiDRQBKGTb — PolitiTweet.org

We live with a quantity of cirrhosis, of drunk driving, of alcohol-fueled domestic violence and other problems that I think is much higher than it should be. I try to convince people that we should raise alcohol taxes and try to mitigate these issues. https://t.co/zthbMOqKwD — PolitiTweet.org

But even if I got my way on that, there would still be significant public health problems related to alcohol. You could try to solve that with blanket prohibition but (a) voters wouldn't stand for it and (b) as we know enforcement is challenging. — PolitiTweet.org
