"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".
hahaha this guy obviously is not human. Texas is the country's 'fattest' state and sweetened soft drinks are among the biggest concern of the recent state-wide weight gain, you dont get people to slim down by taxing them, just as you dont get people to quit smoking by taxing them. 10 grand for an abortion plus doctor fees (already in the thousands?)? This guy is from 1953. Someone please kill him.
"The candidate told the Globe News he would create a 10-member panel to determine which games are violent. Taxes would then be levied against game publishers. The same board would also decide whether video game ads portrayed violence."
lmao, so EVERY GAME then? 10 people, probably picked by him, to review every game that comes out for any violence it might have or might elude to. Now let's keep something in mind, even E rated games have a warning of 'Mild cartoon violence' which is the same as saying Tom and Jerry is mild cartoon violence ***even Mario Sunshine says mild cartoon violence***. Jesus. Fucking CALVIN AND HOBBES has mild cartoon violence.
Seriously, someone kill him please, I can supply the weapons. Apparently Texans themselves are a smart bunch, he's not favoring well right now at all. I can see that he's trying to implement good morals but the execution is completely wrong.
