I wouldnt mind paying more taxes for things like universal health care, better education, etc. This is just plain stupid though.

So this 1% tax will FORCE all children to stop playing games and go outside? There will be just as many sedentary kids as before, how does this stop them from game playing? If anything it encourages them to stay inside and game MORE, because they will feel they have earned the right through paying the tax.

“I support a small, reasonable tax like this, but I don’t want it above 2%.”

There is nothing reasonable about this tax. It’s just an additional money grab under the deceitful guise of saving the children and the environment. Government needs to cut wasteful spending instead of always further reaching into taxpayers’ pockets.

“If they were to propose a tax on entertainment at large to help fun our National Parks or some other worthwhile venture, I personally would not have a problem with such a tax.”

I would have a problem with it because the money spent on entertainment is already taxed TWICE. Once as income tax when the consumer makes the money and again as sales tax when he spends it. This tax would just be an additional money grab on top of those other taxes.

So let me get this straight. Every year, the government wants me to pay my yearly taxes. Then, they want to tax all of the food that I eat. Now they want to tax video games specifically?

How about the government keep their dirty hands out of my damn pocket!

I do not support taxing specific items. Many taxes in this country are already legally questionable. If they are going to add a tax, it needs to be added to all retail items, not just games.
