Star Locke doesn't like violent video games. He ranks them up there with abortion and soft drinks and as a running platform for governor in Texas, he wants to see them taxed. "So our concept is that we need to tax things we don't want and you want to not tax things that you want to encourage." This translates to a 50% tax on all violent video games, among other things.

Video games will be able to avoid this tax by making sure the people getting killed in their games are any of the following: Catholics, Non-Christians, Minorities Any games including the following "enemies" will not be taxed at all: Deer, Fish, Women Praise jesus
