Since most of Hollywood wants to pay more taxes. And since even a video on YouTube can cause multiple murders at an embassy. Something the administation has stated before the U.N.
It seems to me that taxing violent movies might be a good combination. Even do a progressive tax. The more violent the movie the higher the tax.
Could even say we are lowering our carbine footprint. Maybe some of the Leftists in Hollywood might like the sound of that.
Hollywood needs to be held accountable. I say financially accountable.
Reduce your carbine footprint!
Fight global arming!
Oh, groooooan.
Ain’t gonna happen.
Hollywood is really left wing.
And liberals actually fight for the things they want.
This is actually a GREAT idea. Video games as well.
Those progressives have a great plan! How about lets tax the progressives only tax?
Can someone with tech know-how develop a website for this: www.carbinefootprint.com and a facebook page. It will go blockbusters (excuse the pun) against Hollywood - their movies, video games, and TV programswhich sell violence to mentally ill consumers.
We should then advocate that everyone who wants to watch violence must apply for a license, go through a thorough background check and have a 30 day waiting period.
Neat idea, but the domain name already exists:

I have been calling for a sin tax on the entertainment industry since liberals started their sin taxes on bottles, ciggs and sodas.
If we have to raise taxes, take it out of the pockets of the communist homo money boys and girls who claim to love taxes and control.
And, violent video games, when played in an obsessive way, are not the best developmental tool for children or for anyone’s social skills.
Tax everthing they produce. Tax the income they get while acting like the slugs of humanity and demolish their loopholes. Tax Chi-com wannabe globalists into Mao’s shed. We need a huge GM and GE Corp. tax.
We need to end the secular foundation “charity” tax loophole Soros and other pin heads use to protect income in order to fund the communist political and media structure. We don’t need the Gate’s foundation given he’s into funding and supporting abortion and a bunch other watermelon globalist nasties. These human and America destabalizing foundations is where the limo-liberals hide too much of their income.
Religious non-profit activities should be protected from taxation by the first amendment. The government is not supposed to interfer or deter religious activity with penalities/taxation. And NO tax breaks for NGO’s.
Video games don’t kill people. Neither does Warner Brothers cartoons, or EC Horror comics, or rap music. Or ridiculously violent Hollywood movies. Or Playboy magazine.
Mental illness does kill people, both directly and indirectly. Whether it is organic or induced by drugs and alcohol.
David Berkowitz killed people because his neighbors dog was possessed by a demon and ordered him to. This is not a good reason to outlaw dogs.
Many murderous fruitcakes claim that Jesus ordered them to kill; hardly typical for the gentleman. Yet the Bible is filled with instances of murderous brutality.
If anything, eventually scientists will likely come up with some means to diagnose dangerously mentally ill people by having them watch ultra-violent movies and observing what their brains do. Most people’s brains will act one way, and theirs will act in a different way.
Even then this does not indicate that they should not watch those movies, but instead get mental health care with the hope that if they do see such a movie, or are barked at by the neighbor’s dog, it does not incline them to murder others.
