Texas Politician Wants Violent Games Tax

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday January 25, 2006 @03:26AM from the worse-than-cigarettes-by-far dept.

Gamepolitics reports that a candidate for the Governor of Texas would pass a violent games tax if elected. From the article: "The Amarillo Globe News is reporting that Republican gubernatorial candidate Star Locke wants to scrap Texas' current property tax system. Instead, Locke would institute new taxes on abortion providers, soft drinks, and violent video games to fund the state's government. Locke, a rancher and builder from Corpus Christi, favors a 50% tax on violent games, as well as a $10,000 tax per abortion and a 10% levy on sweetened soft drinks."

Screw this guy - Texans vote Kinky! by Anonymous Coward · 2006-01-25 03:35 · Score: -1, Redundant

This guy sounds pretty wacky. He won't get the Repub nomination against Rick Perry, who is also wacky.

What to do fellow Texans?

Vote for Kinky, 06!
