Activist Group Proposes New Taxes
Tax proposals that could raise nearly $900 million a year without having to go through a drawn-out revision of the Nevada Constitution were outlined Monday by an activist group long at odds with Gov. Jim Gibbons' anti-tax stance.

Gibbons can take a pay-cut, of 3/4 of his weekly paycheck! And everyone in carson city, also take a pay-cut of 3/4 of their weekly paycheck! What make gibbions so special? If gibbons was a man, & governer. People who work for the state wouldn't be having a pay-cut. If gibbons was a man, the governer would be taking a pay-cut! Guess for what I've seen the news about gibbions. NOT a man or governer! It starts from the top and go down street walker. Good Luck Dawn, you'll be off without that trash of a husband. You can find a better person, but least you'll get ride of the trash your married to now.

We don't want state income taxes in Nevada. The reason we moved here was to avoid those types of taxes which California has and look at them..bankrupt state.

If these ignorant "activists" help impose these new taxes, they will cause a HUGE mass exodus of businesses leaving Nevada, causing even deeper distress to the states economy! Think before you act, activists!

Fulkerson is basically right about the state's lack of care for the poor, the elderly, and the disabled. Nevada is a haven to escape the taxation of California and other states for anyone, not just the wealthy. I don't care to pay any city, county, or state income tax. What Nevada should do is overhaul its tax system to identify the massive loopholes and thus increase revenue from established streams. Fix the system before the words 'state income tax' is mentioned.

I can't believe these jerks who want to sell more taxes as a way to keep state leaches alive. Taxes never hurt the wealthy or big business it only cost "The Children" and the poor. Maybe Bob and Jan don't like the competition of new business that lower taxes bring to our state . Do us a favor and don't print stuff from these idiots...
