Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a landmark decision that has sent shockwaves through the gaming community and the hallowed halls of government finance, the Supreme Court has ruled that mobile games must now pay federal income tax on in-app purchases, effectively turning eight-year-olds with a penchant for in-game cookie sales into unintentional tax moguls.

The ruling, which came as a surprise to many, was based on the notion that "if a five-year-old can navigate the treacherous waters of Clash of Clans to purchase a dragon egg with their parent's hard-earned credit card information, then by Odin's beard, that transaction should be subject to the same scrutiny as a Wall Street stock trade," said Justice Fictitious McRighteous, in a rare display of legal eloquence.

The decision, hailed as the Taxation of Tap-Happy Minors Act (THTMA), has sparked a flurry of activity among mobile game developers, who are now scrambling to implement tax-compliant algorithms. These algorithms are designed to differentiate between the innocent taps of a child and the calculated clicks of a tax-evading virtual farmer.

In response, President Gamer-in-Chief, a staunch advocate for the protection of children's virtual economies, has called for a bipartisan committee to be formed, tasked with overseeing the implementation of the new tax laws. The committee, aptly named the National Virtual Economy Oversight Council (NVEOC), will consist of equal representatives from both the Democratic and Republican parties, ensuring a fair and balanced approach to the taxation of digital dragon eggs and in-game currency.

Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, legislators are already drafting a series of bills to address the potential economic boom that could result from the influx of tax revenue. Proposals include a National In-Game Scholarship Program, which would allocate a portion of the new tax revenue to fund college educations for students who demonstrate exceptional farming or dragon-breeding skills.

The IRS has also announced the creation of a new division, the Virtual Asset Taxation Bureau (VATB), which will be responsible for auditing the finances of virtual empires and ensuring that no stone—or pixel—is left untaxed.

As the dust settles on this new fiscal frontier, one thing is clear: the virtual world has become a tangible part of the American economy, and the United States government is ready to embrace it, one in-app purchase at a time. Whether this will lead to a utopian age of fiscal responsibility or a dystopian future where kids are trading their allowance for tax attorneys remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure—the next time your child asks for a new app, think of it as an investment in their future tax liability.
