45. How about a tax for watching TV that is bad for you...and a tax on Movies that...
might be bad.
Violent shows would be taxable.
Mind draining shows also - like reality shows about celebrity lives.
Watching Nova would be free.
A show like jackass would have a large tax as we have to pay the medical for those kids that try it.
These just off the top of my head.

A commission could be formed to determine what is good and bad for us.


I'm working on an idea now on how we can tax people to control what they wear. I hate those baggy pants.
