The Legislature and Taxes

An aritle in the Las Vegas Sun states. "Nonetheless, the budget crisis showed, yet again, that the state’s tax structure — which relies too heavily on the gaming and mining industries — is broken. Separately, the crisis put on display, yet again, that too many of this state’s politicians are looking for the easiest way out — and always with an eye on the upcoming election."

I agree with the statement that "this state’s politicians are looking for the easiest way out — and always with an eye on the upcoming election."

Then in another paragraph, it stateS, "We’re not suggesting that this was the time to raise taxes, but if the state had truly broadened its tax base and increased the amount of the state’s revenue when the state’s economy was roaring as far back as the mid-1990s, then today’s shortfall wouldn’t have been nearly as traumatic. Of course, part of the problem has been that too many in the private sector — particularly corporations with headquarters outside of Nevada — have previously fought reasonable increases in taxes."

Raising taxes is not the answer. We need to reduce the size and spending of government. The legislature just passed the largest tax increase in the state's history and now they want to raised taxes some more. It will never end until the government has all your money.

Fight Back Now. Don't vote for any Democrat or Republican. Send the message that you are angry and will not take it any more. Vote for the Independent American Party Candidate.
