This struggle may be a moral one or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand.
In recent legislative sessions, the gambling-industrial complex has kept its taxes low, opened large tax loopholes for itself and facilitated major tax and fee increases on everyone else. Nevada casinos pay the lowest state levies in the nation, all of which are fully deductible on federal income tax returns. Our gross gaming tax, frozen since 1987, remains lowest in the world. The Nevada gambling industry also diverts hundreds of millions in public money toward casino promotion. Because of this ongoing casino tax skim, booming cities like Reno and Las Vegas cannot afford adequate parks or many other public services.
