Oklahoma Politician Wants To Tax Violent Video Games
dotarray writes "According to an Oklahoma politician, video games help cause many problems affecting the youth of today, but they can also help solve those same problems. Representative William Fourkiller, a Democrat, has proposed a 1% tax on every video game sold which has a Teen, Mature or Adults Only rating. He explains that half of the money would go towards helping to get kids playing outside, while the other half would be placed into a bullying prevention fund."
You misunderstood the article. The 1% will be used to pay bodyguards who will drag the kids outside then pound the crap out of anybody who tries to bully them.
You never really know how close to the edge you can go until you fall off.
you apparently never played number munchers
Pedro offers you his protection.
Don't hold back.... tell us how you *really* feel.
Ooh, Ive got one:
"His soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knoooooooooooooots.
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
If you don't understand the difference between a representative in the Oklahoma state legislature and the president of the United States, please refrain from voting. A coin toss would be better informed.
I would like to propose a tax - 10% of any politician's annual income everytime they attempt to speak with their ass. As Rep. Fourkiller is apparently doing.

Unfortunately, that won't work. They don't attempt to speak with their asses; it just happens naturally. :-)
I dunno, I'd somehow prefer the dem taxing it to the rep outlawing it. That way the commodity is cheaper.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
