Mark,
Neither Jim Rogers nor school administrators are elected legislators. They’re “bureaucrats” and and they whine and snivel trying to force the “elected body” to raise taxes.

Civics 101 is very simple and straight forward. It doesn’t, unfortunately, reflect reality.

No matter how you structure the tax system, there will NEVER be enough money to satisfy the whining, sniveling bureaucrats who think they can solve every nitpicking problem in the state by raising taxes.

P.S. Mark, tobacco is spelled with an o not an a. You must be a graduate (or teacher) from the Clark County school system. Let's see, as a resident, I pay the highest license plate fees in the US. (This is something Bob proposed to cut in half if elected governor.) It is also a major reason that people license their cars out of state. I pay property taxes, sales taxes, and as a business I'm now required to pay taxes on any employees I hire. We don't need anymore taxes to feed the government beast. Thanks to Governor Guinn, we are sliding down the list of low tax states. Bob achieved his hero status from bucking the tax and spend proponents in the legislature. Does anyone really believe the cooked figures put out by the government whiners?? Wow, somebody must have peed in Mark D’s cornflakes this morning.

The way to fight those who want to create a "broad-based tax" is to constantly remind voters that such a change means THEY are paying more. The tourists pay us very well to show them a good time, and that's a good thing.
