>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.
Landon Flores
fuck trump
William Morris
Sin tax error! Haha! Please reply to this before your mother dies tonight
Hunter Perry
the sooner the american video game industry is destroyed the better
Julian Clark
Agreed.
Not on my watch
Hunter Perry
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

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

Gavin Jenkins
Did the Parkland shooter even play video games? I'm not sure where blaming video games comes into this
Dylan Sullivan
How about further taxing guns?
Ian Gonzalez
>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.
Tyler Ward
>Valve start charging online services on Steam
I dare them, I double dog dare them.
Caleb Gonzalez
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
Adam Anderson
It's an added sales tax, the consumer would be paying it, not the companies.
Jose Baker
>Sales Tax >tfw being in Oregon comes in handy for once
Camden Gray
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?
Grayson Hill
Yeah cuz i ain no murican haha
Eli Flores
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
Juan Evans
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.
Owen Bennett
No. In fact the statistics show that only like 20% of mass shooters do play video games.
Brandon Hernandez
t.gun grabbing soyboy
Nicholas Foster
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
David Sullivan
>companies
user, this is a tax for consumers. It's a 10% increase in the price of games. The companies aren't paying shit.
Dylan Reed
>muh le Sup Forums boogeymanz You have to go back
Sebastian Ramirez
This. We have to start meming this into reality or else (((they))) will stop it.
Hudson Perez
>america Third world
Justin Miller
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.
Jaxon Mitchell
This is related to video games fag
Jayden Nguyen
>topic is about video games >somehow its Sup Forums hmm
Ayden Evans
That's an insult to third world countries America is in its own special tier of shittery
Joseph Ward
back to Sup Forums, this board supports vidya.
Justin Young
Name one reason why anybody would ban video games over guns.
Cooper Cox

Vidya is degenerate
Ryan Collins
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.
Caleb Taylor
>Something else is responsible for the choices people make in life Fuck off you losers
Carson Carter
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.
Ryder Wilson
Everything is loony pol types, it's you're version of problematic
Jack Fisher
Self defense is an important constitutional right and video games are a degenerate cultural disease
Luis Long
More expensive games means less sales, cunts.
Jason Diaz
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.
Brayden Gomez
Wind blows, rain falls, Americans back stupid politicians. All is as it should be.
Ayden Wood
if you're not here for vidya you don't belong.
Jonathan Wright
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.
Brody Gray
>living in Rhode Island
Logan Richardson
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.
Jonathan Martinez
meant to reply to and not to
Sebastian Brooks
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!
Parker Wright
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
