The takeover of America by corporations... If it's such a good idea for a corporation to do it, why isn't it a good idea for our government? Let the revenue and profits go the people instead of a profit-seeking entity that doesn't operate in the interest of the public good.

Like it or not, folks, we're all in this together. What happens when these people hit bottom? They're on the streets committing crimes so then we have to increase our public safety and corrections spending. I'd rather invest in quality of life. Yes, their lives but mine also because it affects the landscape of my entire community. An ounce of prevention...

Unless you are in the top 1% of income earners, the track record of the two parties in the 80 years since President Hoover was in office shows that your bank account will do better with Democrats than with Republicans. I personally don't care if my taxes go up or down. I do, however, care how much is left over after I pay those taxes. Yes, the data show that taxes do go up with Democrats but they have consistently provided lower unemployment, lower deficits, and higher real net income growth.

Both sides are crooked in their own way. The system is broken and needs to be fixed but until that happens, I'd rather go for my wallet, which will give me more buying power to make my voice heard, the same as the corporations and big money interests spend their funds to make their voices heard.

Do the research, folks. The length of yellow lights are shortened and rear-end accidents increase. Of course, if we're just looking to go cha-ching, cha-ching...

Don't talk to me about ethics and responsibility when the Mortgage Bankers Association strategically defaulted on their headquarters building.

Duh! Seems pretty obvious to me but then again, I'm a transplant with a degree. When I moved here, I had to dumb down my resume just to get an interview. That's seems to be the attitude here - someone with an education is threatening.

The $64,000 question, however, is whether we're going to take action or just continue to hear the typical political and business platitudes with no progress. They may talk a good game but you have to walk the talk. Business has to get on board but with the prevailing anti-education sentiment (educated workers can think for themselves and see through the bs) and hands-off attitude toward increasing taxes on gaming and mining so they pay their fair share (compare us to other states, folks), I'm not so sure we're going to get past this. Governor Sandoval should take heed and re-evaluate his education proposals. Everything hinges on improving the state's education levels.

Libra, camera enforcement is not the answer. Do some research and you will find that camera enforcement actually leads to more rear-end collisions. The primary objective of cameras is to increase revenue.

We need more Steve Sisolaks!!!!

Duh!!!
