Luxury Tax Expires, Now The Only 1991 Luxury Tax Is On Beer
The luxury excise tax increases passed by Congress in 1990 and levied
in 1991 have now expired. As the Wall Street Journal noted, “January
1 (2003) marked the expiration of the federal luxury tax on cars,
the last vestige of the destructive luxury tax package in the infamous
1990 budget deal.” Well, not quite the last vestige. The luxury
tax on beer remains.

Beer Was Important To Incas
Beer played an important role in the lives of the ancient
Incan empire in Peru according to a story by the Associated
Press. Writing about the opening of an exhibit at Yale University
of artifacts from the Peruvian royal city of Machu Picchu,
reporter Diane Scarponi wrote, “Some of the fine work
on display includes a silver llama, figurines and paired silver
drinking cups that were used in ceremonies to drink corn beer.
Corn beer played an important role in Inca life — it
was consumed at ceremonies and was a major food source for
the people. The exhibit displays some pottery kegs for beer
and other vessels used to store and drink it.”
