The hypocrite Steve Wynn is expanding into Pennsylvania with a gross gaming revenue tax of 47%.
Nevada's gross gaming revenue tax is 6.75% and Wynn has stated if the rate increased 1% he would no longer build in Nevada. But he's planning on building in Pennsylvania with their tax rate over 700% higher. Typical hypocrite Republican.
Thought Wynn said Obama was stifling his business & he wasn't going to do anything other than in communist contries!?!?!
Hypocrite!
Also he's fully willing to pay huge casino taxes, but cries poor if Nevada asks for a 1/10th percent increase!
What a moron Wynn has become over the years.........not only his eyes going bad his reasoning is shot to hell also!
Fishtown is a really sh_tty area in Philly too.
weinberg already tried to get into philly and they told him to take a hike---amusing all these billionaires beefing about paying taxes--in nevada it is the cheapest place in the world to operate a casino---and yet they will go and pay nearly 50% tax in these other places just to get in the door while they stiff our community---paying nearly zero while they rape the city and workers---he is so bad he even steals the employees tips and gives them to his managers---slime of the town. Why would any customer go to this stiffs casinos?
I'm sure that I heard Weinberg say that he wouldn't build anything here in the United States due to the business climate situation under President Obama.
So, it turns out that he's just a big LIAR!!!! It was all about attempting to defeat Barack Obama. Well Stevie, you, Sheldon, and the Koch Brothers FAILED!!!
And now, he's willing to go to Pennsylvania and pay upwards of 55%.
