Could someone enlighten me as to what a 'child advocacy program' would entail? I can see part of the argument for taxing it in a practical sense. Smoking and drinking are luxury goods, unnecessary but enjoyed by many but with detrimental effects. Video games can be seen in the same light. It seems the argument that 'video games make you violent' is much stronger in the states than here in the UK which might give her grounds for seeing the games as detrimental.
Also, your point about taxing bmx's and baseball is illogical and i think shows your mising what she might be trying to do. BMXing and baseball are exercise. They are good for you (note no detrimental effects). Perhaps given the obesity levels we keep hearing about it would be good to promote outdoors activities over video games.
That being said it does seem a stupid suggestion despite these minor positives I can find with it.
