Shift gears. Gaming giants building in Macau and Singapore. Still throwing billions around the Strip. And they claim they can't afford to contribute more than 6.75% to Nevada's children, elderly, job development, education/universities. They pay three, four times that in other states. Boy does Wynn and the gang have our brains walled off from what makes a state a state.
To Assemblyman Joe Hardy: You would increase revenues from industries IF they would agree to paying them to protect education!? Let me get this straight. You are relying on "industry" to make critical decisions that we, the voters, elected you to make!? Excuse me!!!???
Sandoval's "no new taxes" is equal to how the ancient Roman doctors approached critically ill patients. "Bleed them until they either get better or they die." To call Sandoval and the no new taxes crowd "knuckledraggers" is to be too kind. It is time to call such people out and make them accountable for their diseased sociopathic thinking.
Yep, old Sheldie's over there in Asia, spending unpaid Nevada taxes to intercept Asian gamers so they don't have to go to Nevada anymore to gamble. Doesn't pay taxes. Makes more money. It's the game mogul's way. Sheldie pays 6.75% taxes in Nevada and three to five times that anywhere else. Nevada is not only asleep at the switch, it's in a coma.
So you agree, that the current situation is no longer workable. It's a start. Check out the "Anthem" stories elsewhere in the news. Do some homework. Become informed. Get active. It's the American way.
Mining taxed at less than .5%. Gaming taxed at 6.75%. No corporate income taxes. Nevada doesn't have a spending problem. It has a problem asking big shots to pay their fair share.
Speculation: The man is a mental case who should have been receiving treatment in a mental health facility but due to repeated shouts of NO TAXES, KILL GOVERNMENT SPENDING he wound up on a long "waiting list" for services. Nevada is turning into the wild west again. Which makes it dangerous. Which makes it uninhabitable. Let it go back to the desert for everyone's safety.
Again, more name calling, more over the top criticism of those who know what they're talking about. AIG was too big to fail. Nevada is too dumb to survive.
Yes municipal and county workers, for the most part, are paid too much. But even when you re-adjust their pay downward, the state is still on its back. The state needs to climb out of its toybox mentality about taxes and levy those who have the money. The big industries, the rich and corporations. The poor and middle class are already way overtaxed.
