DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this sermon, the preacher highlights the negative impact of excessive
taxation on alcohol in America. He argues that the government's decision
to impose a $2 tax on whiskey and a $5 tax on beer will have detrimental
effects on the economy. The preacher suggests that instead of focusing
on repeal, America needs to focus on repentance and righteousness. He
emphasizes the need for Jesus and spiritual transformation rather than
relying on material possessions or engaging in destructive behaviors.
The sermon encourages listeners to turn to God for guidance and
salvation.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who's sold to a preacher or a high school girl has the same effect as
when it's sold to an automobile thief or a horse thief. Congress has
passed a law putting $2 a tax on whiskey, and they expect to realize
$300 million. That means that the American people have got to buy and
drink 150 million gallons a year.

They have to put $5 a barrel tax on beer. That means the people have got
to buy and drink 32 million barrels of beer a year. It doesn't take a
lawyer to figure out that if you do that, you take that much money out
of the legitimate channels of trade, you spend that much less for food
and clothes and boots and shoes and education and automobiles.

Oh, America didn't need repeal, she needed repentance. She didn't need
wrong, she needed righteousness. We don't need gangs, we need chiefs.

We don't need Warthog, we need Warthog.
