I wouldn't call the British surtaxes unfair, considering you went to war with a French colony (New France specifically) without the authorization of Great Britain just to get new territories, leading to a somewhat long war between the two countries.
You wanted new territories? Fine, but pay the bill.

In my opinion, video games aren't any issue, nor is the abusive consummation of soft drinks... But parents, parents who can't even seem to be able to take care of their kids correctly anymore. If you want to raise a fucking family do it right, educate your child(ren) correctly, teach him/them the right values.
Nowadays most form of governments are like: "Well, parents won't do their jobs maybe we should", which is probably the worst mentality ever, and I think you can understand why.
Say, I give you a job which consists of 3 tasks, but you can't do one correctly, what should I do? Do it for you or educate you so you can execute it in a proper manner? Answer #2 obviously.
Making people pay $60 bucks for said "violent games" games rather than $40 isn't going to change much, people will just buy less... And since all of this is limited to one state, it doubt it will really affect the industry. :\
And a thing about abortion is, it shouldn't be seen as a method of contraception (some people see it like that), but rather as a "final solution".
Warranto: Games tend to cost more here than they do in the U.S.
