Taxing Games For Crimes
You guys are gonna like this one. Despite a number of recent rulings and even an
announcement by the Surgeon General saying there is no link between videogames and
violence of young kids, New
Hampshire is considering taxing video games and movie rentals in their state with the
money to go towards the victims of sex crimes.
Supporters say that the tax is fitting, because video games and movies often feature sexual violence or portray woman as objects of sexual gratification. The bill would tax film and game rentals 5 cents each, video game and game players $1 each.
You would think they would tack a tax like that on alcohol?
