The right of the individual to pursue happiness is one of the cornerstones of the United States Constitution.

I would therefore argue that putting a tax on amusement is unconstitutional.

i was thinking about that as well^

It's a higher percentage than the initial cogitate tax.

Excise taxes are how this country got afloat man.

@Swedishmafia101 Judging by how much wee kiddos rage in online games, it would be a simple matter to say that games are not conducive to said pursuit. 😉

Look up the Whisky Rebellion.

lol

Video games are scientifically proven to be able to help people suffering from depression or trauma

Perhaps that could be argued. Regardless, the constitution doesn't rule out taxation of things that may lead to happiness.

yesn't in't

@Khanclansith Excise taxes are being applied to utilities where i live

not just superfluous items

Can someone send me that video link in private so that I can remember to watch it later? 😛

and u gonna be seeing that happen as well

if not already

Then @tritrium it is not an excise tax. Unless your government considers using the utillities a sin!

I'm Swedish and it feels like I know the Constitution better than the fuckers who make your laws

They do khan

and it is an excise tax

@Swedishmafia101 I thought you were Danish.

Meanwhile in Missouri prob getting a few lower taxes

Some people actually think I'm not Swedish

They think I'm American because I'm fluent in English

I like Swedish Fish btw. 😉

@tritrium I am sorry your government has abandoned all reason.

@Matt-Kill723 He released ALMOST all? So some of them said they were indeed planning to kill people? 🤔

idk

I didn't even read it lol

@Khanclansith if the argument is that consuming electricity/water is bad for the environment and therefor they need to levy heavy taxes on said items to reduce consumption, which are then simply transferred to the actual consumer.
Then that is an excise tax afaik.

@tritrium So using electricity and or water for cooking, preserving food, keeping people from freezing is a sin as well by that rational.

That is precisely the reasoning yes, but its all good because its sugarcoated by "the environment". The fact that lower income families face financial problems over this is completely ignored by the leftist gutmensch

Its now being discussed about red meat, another one of those type of taxes

You know, these goddamn peasants should simply stop eating meat and just stick with potatoes like they used to. -leftist gutmensch

Maybe the "Peasents" should have themselves another Bastile Day?

Well we will see, it might happen if their personal lives are getting screwed with too much

But i dont see anything happen untill then

You guys seem whats going on with the 100k uncounter votes found in Miami?
