Reply #50: "tax rap music because they get some hack therapist to say it promotes violence"

[YOY]

That is why we have a judicial system.

You see "hack therapists" and the activists who use them are generally thrown out of court. Nobody is every going to tax "rap music" or any kind of music. Most likely because they cannot actually make a solid scientific connection.

Q.E.D.: This loon was disbarred for trying to ban violent video games because he had a habit of pulling shit out of his ass: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(activist) He also was against 2LiveCrew back in the day.

Even when things are proven to cause damage they still are seldom made illegal as they are industries that make a significant of money/employement...and you can tax them. Sin Taxes (although everyone who uses those products hates them) work.

It's been pretty much proven that tobacco products cause cancer. Alchohol kills brain cells. Playing contact sports can lead to long term physical injuries. That's not hack therapy. It's also pretty much commons sense that you have control over what you do to your body. But those things also make money. Nobody makes dangerous things illegal when they make a lot of money.

Hilariously enough marijuana was made illegal because the hemp it comes from threatened another person's industry. Another person who already had a big pile of money to protect his investment.

Have a little faith in the system. The only time something is made illegal really is when it threatens someone else's (who happens to have a lot of money) money pile.

Seriously, learn to recognize Right Wing "LIBRULS OUT T' GET WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO!" bullshit.

I have yet to see a Republican repeal a sin tax.
