Yea, but we already pay tax through our internet service providers.  I don't believe a streaming or gaming service should be taxed.  I suppose they want to make up with loss tax from movie theaters in the upcoming years.  I already avoiding going to movies due to the high price and the recent attacks might start detering other people.

Difference of opinion. We need to make cuts or add taxes, something has to give.

 

I started going less because ticket prices became insane. Now wait for $5 Wednesday or $2 second run cinema. $12 is simply absurd to watch a film.

& don't try to eat. Amusement Parks do that bullshit too. I remember walking around Six Flags and it was hot as hell and their water fountains were hot as fuck as well. Bet it's never cold just to push their cold beverages which are like $3.75 for a 20oz. Ridiculous. Mini rant off topic but it was on my mind lol
