The Power of the Pledge compels you!
Las Vegas Valley Tea Party President Mary Rooney was kind enough to invite me to speak at last night’s meeting at the Boulevard Bar & Grill in Las Vegas to give a briefing on the status of our tax repeal referendum. I also discussed in detail the Taxpayer Protection Pledge… Here’s the thing… 90% of […]
Tax-Hikers’ Lawyers strike again
I’m gonna give you just a quick update because the whole family and some of the kids’ friends drove up to Carson City yesterday and we’re heading out to the pumpkin patch at Lattin Farms in Fallon this morning… 1.) Despite Judge Jerry Wiese of the 8th Judicial Court in Clark County hearing our initial […]
Would you buy a used tax hike from these guys?
By now everyone knows that 80 percent of Nevada voters voted against the Margins Tax last November and that Gov. Brian Sandoval’s “Commerce Tax” is just a mutated version of it. But here are some things many folks either aren’t aware of or are forgetting about the whole debacle. It started when Sandoval proposed a […]
GOP Primaries needed to get rid of Bad Eggs & Bad Blood
It’s not just Nevada that has a gaggle of very bad Republicans in its Legislature. Missouri just witnessed a sellout of philosophical principle that ranks right up there with the 2015 GOP-controlled Nevada Legislature. On the other hand, California Republicans, surprisingly enough, are the ones setting the good example of what happens when you focus […]
Nevada Taxpayers should have the Last Word on Largest Tax Hike in history
In 2009, the Nevada Legislature passed a series of “temporary” tax hikes totaling in excess of $600 million. The people of Nevada were promised that those tax hikes would expire, “sunset,” in two years. Instead, the Legislature extended those tax hikes for an additional two years in both 2011 and 2013. In 2014, the teachers union […]
Conservatives pursuing two-pronged, scorched-Earth war on Tax Hike
Nevadans all across the state are “fioreous” over the recently passed largest tax hike in Nevada’s history – including the creation of a new gross receipts tax very similar to the one Nevada voters overwhelmingly rejected last November by almost 80 percent! And there are two distinct camps preparing to counter-attack in the 2016 campaign […]
Politicians lie, but when it comes to the Tax Pledge the numbers don’t
Liberals and RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) hate the Taxpayer Protection Pledge with, as Diane Chambers once put it on Cheers, “the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns.” And there’s a very good reason for that… It works. In signing the Tax Pledge, a candidate promises the voters of his or her district that he […]
Blame guv, not 120-day session for budget slam-and-jam
Freshman Republican Assemblymen Erv Nelson and Chris Edwards appeared on a local PBS community affairs television show recently and advocated for annual sessions of the Nevada Legislature. As if these people don’t already do enough damage every OTHER year! The reason, according to the pair, is that 120 days is supposedly not enough time to digest […]
Nevada taxpayers unleash fury on Heller’s support for Sandoval
If you want to know the real reason behind RINO Nevada Gov. Brian “America’s Worst Governor” Sandoval’s (R&R Partners) “announcement” this week that he will not be seeking U.S. Sen. Harry Reid’s seat in next year’s election, consider the outrage that continues to pour forth from angry taxpayers in letters-to-the-editor, emails, blog posts and other […]
The Dirty Dozen and Sellout Seven
Republicans this legislative session had 100 percent control of Nevada’s government for the first time since 1929. They used it in the Assembly on Sunday to shove, by a vote of 30-10, the largest tax increase in Nevada’s history down our collective throats and up our collective wazoos. A $1.5 billion giga-monstrosity that includes a […]
Assembly GOP should tell Sandoval to go back to the drawing board
I remember a time back in the 6th grade when I turned in a book report. Mr. Levanis reviewed it, handed it back to me and said, “This isn’t acceptable. Go back and do it over.” And that’s EXACTLY what Republicans in the Assembly should tell Gov. Brian Sandoval about his $7.3 billion budget and […]
