The thing is, once you accept a 1% tax on violent video games, you've accepted in principle that violent video games warrant government interference. Then the question becomes how much the government should interfere, rather than whether it should at all. Violent video games are free speech. Specific types of speech shouldn't have special taxes placed on them. I feel the same way about a 1% tax on violent video games as I would about a 1% tax on books containing witchcraft-related themes.
