Proposed 100% tax on games in Texas.

Okay, so I know this isn't a "deal", BUT, it's something that could affect the "cheapness" of games in Texas if this candidate is elected to office.

is that the same thing?

Yep, same one (but the article has been updated to reflect the 100% not 50%). I had not seen that thread before posting mine.

I had not seen that thread before posting mine.it's all good...i wasn't being a smartass with my previous post...i really didn't know if it was the same thing or not because one said 50 and the other said 100...plus, i didn't read either articles

Don't worry about it. Star Locke has about as much a chance of becoming the governor of Texas as Leslie Cochran does.

wont happen.

It won't happen, but as we get older and move to buy a home(or you already have one) this might save money in the long run. Not having to pay property tax would be awesome. So for the few M games I buy a year cost more, but I can save quite a bit in taxes. I don't think it will pass, but I do think its a good idea if they placed that extra tax on harmful items such as booze and cigs.
