WASHINGTON D.C. - In a shocking turn of events, Congress has voted to impeach itself in response to the growing backlog of uncompleted legislation. In a move that has left many pundits scratching their heads, lawmakers have decided to tax the gaming industry to fund their new legislation.

"We're simply running out of options," said Representative John Smith (R-OH). "We've been trying to pass new laws for years, but every time we think we've got something good, it just gets stuck in committee. So, we've come to the obvious conclusion: taxing the gaming industry will solve all of our problems."

Despite the initial reluctance of some lawmakers, the tax on gaming revenue has gained widespread support. "It's a fair and reasonable solution," said Senator Jane Doe (D-CA). "After all, who doesn't love playing video games? It's only fitting that we should profit from their addiction."

The proposed tax would be set at 10% on all gaming revenue, with the funds earmarked for a new "Legislation Completion Fund." According to estimates, the tax could generate upwards of $10 billion in revenue, more than enough to fund the completion of all outstanding legislation.

Not everyone is convinced, however. "This is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to line the pockets of Congress with money from the gaming industry," said Representative Bob Johnson (R-TX). "We all know that the gaming industry has far too much influence over our lawmaking already. This just takes it to a whole new level."

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the gaming industry is about to get a whole lot more expensive. "We're just trying to get the job done," said Representative Smith. "And if that means taxing the fun out of video games, so be it."
