New Tax on Video Games

As you know, the Republican party is now backing a 10% tax on video games to support victims of gun violence. Do you agree with this?

>Rhode Island representative, Robert Nardolillo III, has proposed a bill which, if passed, will implement an increased tax on violent videogames, with the funds from the tax going towards mental health and counselling resources in schools.

>The legislation would add an extra 10% sales tax to videogames sold in Rhode Island which are rated M-for-Mature or higher by the ESRB.

Personally I think this is a fantastic idea. Video Games are a degenerate hobby and by applying a sin tax to them we can naturally reduce peoples' consumption of them. Plus this will go a long way in protecting important rights.

fuck trump

Sin tax error! Haha! Please reply to this before your mother dies tonight

the sooner the american video game industry is destroyed the better

Agreed.

Not on my watch

Yes, a 10% tax is fair, the vidya industry makes more than Hollywood, yet everyone ignores it

Republicans should also tax the fuck out of loot boxes too

>Dont bother enforcing gun control
>Tax game companies instead
>Game companies need to cover loss
>Game companies implement more MTX
>Valve start charging online services on Steam

Can you imagine what this thread would look like if Obama or Clinton said this?

>living in america
hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhaha

>Rhode Island

who gives a fuck

Did the Parkland shooter even play video games? I'm not sure where blaming video games comes into this

How about further taxing guns?

>can't be our guns
>yes goy buy more weapons and arm your teacher what can go wrong
>ban the evil video games
Why are christcucks the most cucked people on this planet? Like imagine you build an entire religion around you getting cucked by jews.

>Valve start charging online services on Steam

I dare them, I double dog dare them.

Yeah it would be "Based Obama" everyone on Sup Forums wants to see these corps get taxed for MTX, they simply make too much profit from it & give little in return

It's an added sales tax, the consumer would be paying it, not the companies.

>Sales Tax
>tfw being in Oregon comes in handy for once

Are games legally required to be checked by the ESRB if they're being sold in retail or is that just store policy that they only sell games that are rated by the ESRB?

Yeah cuz i ain no murican haha

being canadian is cool
having to pay more tax on shit that already costs like 80 bucks would be annoying
it's like they want you to pirate it
this

You seem to want to talk about politics instead of videogames. is the place you're looking for. We usually prefer to talk about videogames instead of a literally who introducing a literally what bill that isn't going to pass, and that would affect 12 square yards of the country if it did pass.

No. In fact the statistics show that only like 20% of mass shooters do play video games.

t.gun grabbing soyboy

Won't happen, the jew will not allow it, vidya is too useful for controlling the masses.

Expect them to begin mobilizing Reddit and the rest of the normienet against it in the next 24 to 48 hours

Too much shekels and poisoning of brains at stake

>companies

user, this is a tax for consumers. It's a 10% increase in the price of games. The companies aren't paying shit.

>muh le Sup Forums boogeymanz
You have to go back

This. We have to start meming this into reality or else (((they))) will stop it.

>america
Third world

I think this is a good idea in the sense that it will push more young people to support gun bans. kids will give up guns before games.

This is related to video games fag

>topic is about video games
>somehow its Sup Forums
hmm

That's an insult to third world countries
America is in its own special tier of shittery

back to Sup Forums, this board supports vidya.

Name one reason why anybody would ban video games over guns.

>GTAV after 5 years will be more expensive than it was when it first launched.

Jesus Christ

Vidya is degenerate

Can't they just fuck off? I want to enjoy video games. Pirating shit is justified because the ones selling their games or movies already sell them expensive.

>Something else is responsible for the choices people make in life
Fuck off you losers

They are going after my guns too. The fault is exactly on the people that supported obama and clinton. They are the ones screaming for change and something to be done. I long ago understood that sacrificing for your country meant more than just shooting the bad guys. Blue cunts want their safe nanny state.

Everything is loony pol types, it's you're version of problematic

Self defense is an important constitutional right and video games are a degenerate cultural disease

More expensive games means less sales, cunts.

The thing is that your constant whining and shitposting is ruining any discussion.
Politics are annoying as fuck. Who in their right mind would like politics? All it does is helping humans to kill themselves faster as time goes by. Damn, it's depressing me. Just like all the ESJAYDUBYA, it's a plague. They all want to fuck you over. Stop.

Wind blows, rain falls, Americans back stupid politicians. All is as it should be.

if you're not here for vidya you don't belong.

I was about to reeee. But then I saw
>the funds from the tax going towards mental health and counselling resources in schools.

Hell yeah. I'll gladly support this as long as it goes straight to those causes, specifically counseling at schools.

>living in Rhode Island

They need a scapegoat. Wait a week and everyone will drop it, again, because for whatever reason Americans refuse to acknowledge mental health issues. Fuck, even Trump mentioned that.

meant to reply to
and not to

Nice! And when the next shooting spree is over we send a Jew out to stuff dollar bills into the bullet-holes. See, money solves everything!

But Republicans are LE BASED MAGA! They'll obviously never fuck with our hobby, it's not like their base isn't largely old fuck retarded boomers who hate vidya

this is really embarrassing

pretty retarded, but as put it, having soy boys out of a job would be justice.

Cuck

I'm a gun owner, this shit is retarded. Easy access to guns most definitely are responsible for firearm deaths, not video games.

What about sport games and shit like that. Zero logic in this.

wired.co.uk/article/porn-block-ban-in-the-uk-age-verifcation-law .First games, then porn then anime. This will be a blast.

it's only for mature rated games

Europeans backed literally Hitler

I would gladly sacrifice video games for guns. Video games are toys but guns are a necessity.

You will pay.
All of you faggots who bought even a single fucking DLC would pay.
This shit started because the jew over-lord of Zenimax started this shit via Bethesda, and that Valve greenlighted it.
You brought that shit onto yourselves by tolerating product morselling.

>One guy is now the whole Republican party
He's not even a member of the National Congress, just Rhode Island. But you sure wanted those (You)s, didn't you?

Store policy

germans are barely human

banning anime would help 2bh

You seem to want to pretend this is not about vidya, when it's in fact about a tax on vidya.
>we usually prefer to talk about videogames

Or is it that El retardo started a thread, hoped it would go against DRUMPFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, and since alas it didn't go his way, he is now trying to remove and hide it?

Will someone please think of the children?

put a tax on nigger music, alcohol and condoms instead.
those things are much more damaging to individuals and society as a whole than fucking video games.

>manage to make socialism work by removing jews
>jews support all kinds of socialism, except the only one that works
hmmm

Best part is RI is so small we just drive ten minutes to Mass and buy games there. Most people do it already since tax is lower.

t. RI fag

Nigger music is already taxed to an extent. Kids will pay 20 bucks a month to listen to new uzi vert songs

I'm now voting for anyone who even hints at taking away people's guns because of you retards. Can't wait until they do

Welcome welcome Sup Forums what are you doing in this part of the neighborhood?

didnt know aliens played video games

Talking about laws that affect video games is now Sup Forums, thanks to our faggot mods.

Get a load of this manchild

He looked like a wigger so he probably played GTA 24/7

Fucking Sup Forums faggots shitting up our board thanks to mods moving this shit here.

Why don't you cunts get a fucking job and contribute to a right wing society instead of being basement faggots.

how is it not Sup Forums?
the restrictions on video games are a direct attack against normal white youth hobbies.
meanwhile violent nigger music gets more violent, and encourages more youths to do drugs or commit crime every day.

in a lot of places, including much of the third world. having a child who plays video games instead of roams the street and joins a gang is a BLESSING for parents.

All of these new taxes Republicans/Trump are proposing, for video games, gas, online purchases, are just an attempt to recover the revenue lost by the income tax cuts. They know its not going to pay for itself, so they’ll take it all right back out of the middle class by nickel and diming us with various new small taxes. Its like the government is adopting the EA business model.

Glass houses, faggot

Did he forget what caused him to win the election in the first place?

Gun grabbing faggot. Try and take my guns and I'll blow you the fuck away.

No one will even remember this shooting happened a month from now.

How does making it cost more stop anything?

They'll remember trump being anti vidya though

both parties are anti vidya so it doesn't even matter

>paying for games
Enjoy getting cucked, buyfags.

I'm all for more mental health funding, but I have a suspicion this 10% would never end up in the hands of anyone actually doing anything. I imagine it would all end up going to 'administrative fees'.
Plus video games are not at all to blame for the mental health issue in America. If they were, then why is this a problem specific to America? Video games exist everywhere.

Sure thing as long as its across the board. 10% tax on alcohol for victims of drunk driving, 10% tax on tobacco for victims of cancer, 10% tax on grape sodas for victims of dindus, etc. You get the idea.

Once everyone pirates games people will be left with fortnite, csgo and league

Yes, 100%.

This will better the lives of fat neckbeards and NEETS, motivating them to go out and excercise or pursue better interests. The bottom of the barrel that refuses will torrent games tenfold, so the vidya industry can crash and burn.

FINALLY.

Trump is so fucking based. They false flag a shooting and in turn he deflects the shit back to them in the form of ruining that SJW indistry. How can one man be so based.

Touching muh vidya is still playing with fire

I dont have a gun but I want one now, because of you.

>being this desperate for clicks to your shitty blog

Not gonna do shit. Games will just start knocking themselves to "T-rating".

The cause of mass shootings is reckless use of SSRIs. Until we do something about the drug problem these incidents will continue to occur regardless of what else we do.
I almost want them to ban guns just so I can rub it in their faces the next time a school shooting happens

Pharmaceutical lobby pours more money into politics than the gun lobby does, so they are equally off limits.

>The Republican party

It's 2 people total lol. And won't go anywhere.

Meanwhile, in Seattle due to the Democrats and their war on sugar, a soda cost quad damage.

growing up to be a autisic sperg like chris chan is worse
