It sounds like he wants to eliminate the taxes he pays and create "extreme" sin taxes.
The 50% tax on violent video games would get declared unconstitutional most likely. It would be an infringement on freedom or speech (censorship on what the government "thinks" is violent) probably.
Would they even have the state constitutional authority tax put a flat fee tax on abortions? I'm not a lawyer, but I feel something would come up that would overturn that kind of tax.
We have something like the soft drink tax in Washington state, but it's at it's normal sales tax rate. Food items hear, most of them, and when not in a serving environment, don't get sales tax.
There are ways to get rid property taxes. Create a luxury sales tax. Have the sales tax only affect purchases the rich can afford. Electronics over $5k for example. Vehicles over $50k. Anything classified as a yacht. Property purchases (i.e. land) exceeding $1 million.
Concering the federal level, it would probably be best to make it non-partisan. One, it would force voters to really research their candidates instead of checking the boxes on their ballots that says Democrat or Republican. Sure, parties can still support candidates and candidates can be part of parties, just leave the party name off the ticket. Require a certain number of signatures to be placed onto the ballot.
They really should stick to the federal constitution. States, which are nations onto themselves, should be doing a lot of the stuff the federal government is doing.
Teaching the kids how to respond to someone trying to kidnap them is the answer. Have codewords so the kid knows whether that person is really there to pick them up or not. Teach them, that if it's a male trying to kidnap them, knee them as hard as possible between their legs. Kick and scream and make a scene. If it's in the school parking lot, yeah, they'll get noticed.
I don't see any harm in having security cameras in the parking lot and around the school. If something happens, they can review them. Just don't have them live monitored.
I am not sure if this is really standby, but here it goes. I have rechargeable double A batteries I keep in the charger running all the time because as soon as they are free from being charged, they go dead quickly. The charger feels warm.

So in other words, Steve Jobs, who owns a plurality of Disney, sold himself his own company? That is pretty funny.

There are advantages to RFID microchips. It can make it easier for stores to scan items at checkout and do inventory. It could help you find lost items easier (using a reader and walking around with it). However, there needs to be legislation to prevent privacy abuse. Maybe make it illegal for stores to retain the data once the item is scanned out of their store.
There's a difference between facts and ideas. Facts simply exist, they are what they are. However, ideas, such as stories, which aren't necessarily facts, should be handled differently. It would be one thing to say certain facts about a certain person. It would be entirely different to go out and tell a fictional story someone has copyrighted.
I don't think ugliness is a good enough excuse to not put them up there. If they are so worried about their property value, ask the government to compensate them for 100% of their land loss, or maybe ask to be exempt from any property taxation.
I heard on the news recently that it's like slightly above $171k to raise a child from birth to 18 years old.
Some side notes concerning spam. Here are some ideas. Using the commerce clause of the federal constitution, require all commercial mail (which will have to be carefully defined) to require a disclaimer stating how the person's e-mail address was obtained. Then have warnings, fines, and jail time penalties.
I disagree. I believe a planet is weaker than most believe. You don't necessarily need to completely destroy something to make it break apart. You just need to rupture it's magnetic field or something.
Yeah, if the Moon ever becomes a threat, we have the nuclear weapons to take it out. It would make one great show, blowing it up. I'd miss middle of the night moonlight bicycle rides though. Oh, that and the tides, if the Moon so causes them.
I think trying to split the Moon in half with our nuclear weapons would be an interesting thing to try, even though it'd probably would be the end of us.
There definitely needs to be a balance. In my opinion, something like this.
Limit medical patents to like 36 months with no renewal option.
Concerning media (movies, t.v. shows, music) and video games, just have the fines equal to the value of what's stolen IF caught. Some people can't afford to buy it. Some people can and simply are greedy. Let us make things reasonable concerning the punishment.
I would say a 7-10 year cap on the intellectual property expiration. One thing though. Just because the copyright expired doesn't give someone else the right to copy that media (like music, movies, etc.) and sell it to make money. It's one thing to download media for free. It's another thing to download it, put it on some blank DVDs, then sell it online.
This gives a list of speed of light measurements over the years. Although a decline of the speed of light would indicate that we would leap forward instead of back on our clocks, I think it is variable in both directions, meaning it can get faster and slower, but overall declining.
I do know that over the years, I think the past few centuries, when the speed of light was measured, it's bit slightly different each time they measured it.
I am neither ignorant nor a troll. You are free to do the research yourself. Over the years there has been a noticable variance in the speed of light. Consequently, that would mean our electronic atomic clocks would be affected.
I'm not going to argue this any further as you seem set in believing what you believe.

There's also another option for females to hide things.
How difficult would it be to hide a debit and/or credit card on one's person while naked?
RFID microchip implants anyone?
I guess the moderator didn't get my humour. I don't see why it had to be labeled as redundant.

I guess it would make sense to wipe one's keyboard off, just like people wipe their toilet seats off now and then.
That does bring up a problem. Didn't they have that issue concerning an accidently early release of some of the Harry Potter books?
It would be one thing to describe or talk about some fictional information, but it's another thing to give verbatim.

I still disagree, but then again, I'm into alternative science type stuff.

One of these might work...
1) Dig some deep holes into the Moon and set off multiple nukes at once in each hole.
2) Go around the Moon in a circle laying the nukes down, then set them all off at once.
Yeah, if the Moon ever becomes a threat, we have the nuclear weapons to take it out. It would make one great show, blowing it up. I'd miss middle of the night moonlight bicycle rides though. Oh, that and the tides, if the Moon so causes them.
