Have you ever seen a more thoroughly convincing argument for 100% public funding for election campaigns? Americans (and Nevadans especially) vehemently oppose the use of five bucks of their overall tax bill to go to election campaigns, but then scream holy-murder when those elected officials due the bidding of who paid the bill!! This is CHILDISH THINKING. CHILDISH!!!

There are none so blind as those who REFUSE to see. Our health care system and we are toast if gridlock ensues. The American people are caught in the vice of corporate greed of epic proportions and those fighting gainst reform must think that's just fine.
America has been "going down" for a long time. Other countries have better schools, better health care, better jobs and income protections, better child care, better retirement, better air, water and life expectancy. They're also not as fat as we are. We've been spoiled waaaaaaaaaay too long. Our lazy ways and our belief that "something will save us without Democratic Party help" are killing us. We are the country that USED to be called the greatest on earth. Used to be. Stupid is as stupid does.

Gaming pays less than one-third of the minimum tax they pay in other states. And big gaming is building multi-billion dollar gaming resorts in China and Singapore. Mining pays practically no taxes at all and gold is at an all time high. Corporations don't pay income tax in Nevada. NONE. Higher taxes? Hell yes! On those who have never paid their fair share!!

Yup, Nevada is so business friendly that it's broke, busted and disgusting in the way it throws its residents, students and homeless to the wolves. The labor force is far below par because the state doesn't believe in education. On a list of companies leaving California, Nevada didn't even place in the top five for where they ended up. The word's out on Nevada. Too cheap to be prosperous in the long term.

This state is so devoid of political and economic leadership even our meagerly educated high school students are getting it. The late great state of Nevada...
