House Bill 2705 was submitted on September 25th, and proposes: “A tax is imposed on each separate sale at retail of video games which have an adults only rating or mature rating according to the rating system established by the [ESRB].”
The bill continues, stating the tax shall be at 10% of the purchase price and that “The additional rate of tax shall be in addition to any applicable State and local sales taxes.” The proposal does lay out where the money collected from this tax will go. “The secretary of the department shall deposit the money remitted under this subsection into the General Fund. Section 2203. Digital Protection for School Safety Account.” The aforementioned account is used for “the purpose of enhancing school safety measures implemented by school districts as provided by the laws of this Commonwealth.”
Co-sponsors include Representatives Stephen Barrar (R), Steven C. Mentzer (R), and Rosita C. Youngblood (D). Quinn’s memo when he submitted the bill states: “Over the past few years, acts of violence in schools seem to be occurring more frequently and with more intensity. From Colorado to Connecticut to most recently in Parkland, Florida, students have experienced unthinkable actions by peers in a place that should promote learning and enrichment, safety and protection.”
He then cites a quote from a study by The National Center for Health Research as one factor in the increase of school violence: “Studies have shown that playing violent video games can increase aggressive thoughts, behaviors, and feelings in both the short-term and long-term. Violent video games can also desensitize people to seeing aggressive behavior and decrease prosocial behaviors such as helping another person and feeling empathy (the ability to understand others). The longer that individuals are exposed to violent video games, the more likely they are to have aggressive behaviors, thoughts, and feelings.”

So this means all triple A budget games are going to be rated T for Teen from now on in the states to avoid taxes then. Instead of the developers being charged for the production of the mature content themselves that expense is going to be loaded onto the consumer upon every purchase. If the law is strict enough to say no "dependents" (or anyone that does not pay their own taxes like children, married spouses, or disabled adults) are authorized to pay this tax then we have an official M-rated game ban without criminal background checks. Granted the tax could be a luxury tax like tampons. However I think it will be a prohibition tax to make these games legally age restricted to the way that alcohol and tobacco are with warning lables and everything.

10 out of the consumer's pockets is fucking insane. It won't be games that will be taxed at retail. It'll be all DLC and microtransactions bought in the game's online store as well. Remember Sony and the Chicago tax? Now will this law set a basis for prohibition policies in the future like ID upon purchase games at retail and online? And if successful then how likely will this law hit federal level in the future?
I'd rather tax all video games both retail and online store purchases about 2.5% to add more general revenue to promote mandatory parenting programs and other things that benefit child and parent/guardian relationships. Instead it's a censorship law in a box because the state knows corporations are run by penny pinching Jew stock owners, not the consumer.

Not only that, but the Supreme Court has already recognized that video games have full First Amendment protection since that landmark 2011 case. This bill could be struck down on a 1A basis, since it unfairly singles out violent video games over other violent forms of entertainment. Like violent movies and tv shows. Taxing 1 art form could set the legal precedent to let future legislation tax other art forms as well.

Or, you know, it's because we live in a media saturated world now where even individuals - fucking nobodies - can get the entire world staring at their dumb ass for at least 5 minutes under the right conditions. School shootings are not just easy targets, they're fantastic bait for the 24-hour news cycle because there's nothing they love more than some good old senseless disaster porn. So if you're a kid with a chip on their shoulder, nothing left to lose, and know a few assholes you think the world would be better off without - you can get your message and bloody vengeance out to the entire world. People will know who you are, know the pain you're in and the pain you've inflicted in recompense - even if only briefly. And to a lesser degree, you have people who are just lashing out for whatever reason and don't really care for the notoriety - but shooting up a school (or just using a gun to defend yourself while in a school) has now been meme'd by the media into being a viable and normal way of going about dealing with your problems.
To their, very small credit, the news agencies have tended to lay off naming specific names, motivations, and hyper-coverage of anything and everything surrounding those events. But they're still grossly exploitative fucks who are shilling Toyota Camrys and Northern Toilet Paper on the backs of dead children. I'm really surprised there isn't a mechanism in place for tiered commercial spots during tragic events. So companies who pay more get their ads, and the more high production ads, played with greater frequency during coverage of tragedies.. making every California fire and school shooting into a mini-SuperBowl style ad-straveganza.

Why do people do this? If he had something to say about he Jewish cabals running America, then post a picture of that. Don't just take some random shit he said about someone else and try to and attach/imply your own invented context to it.

That quote is completely in context of my post.
Hoover, being an American, had not come to realization of the evil which had infected his communist investigation.
The ADL encouraged Hoover to ignore Jewish communists after many were discovered in the inquisitions.
Instead his investigations focused primarily on white communists instead of the more prolific and destructive Jewish communists, most of which are connected to those political families I mentioned.
Likewise, I can quote any of the founding fathers on taxation in regards to this shitty Violent Vidya fee despite their words being applied to the British taxation of Colonial America.
