The Mini-Golf Tax. The Iron Man Tax. The Burning Man Tax. Im pretty sure most Nevadans enjoy one or more of those activities, which means if Democrats in the Legislature pass their new Nevada Entertainment and Admissions Tax, every Nevadan will curse them when they try to enjoy themselves on the weekend after a long workweek.
Wow, this is stupid. So, instead of imposing a corporate tax on Wal-Mart like nearly every other state in the country, youre going to tax me when I go to the movie theater?
So Ill pay $11.88 instead of $11? I love carrying 12 cents in my pocket.
Democrats: The party of stay home and watch bad TV.
The Buzzkill Party.

Doesn’t Nevada rank right behind CA with high unemployment figures?

A liberal is someone who tosses and turns all night, unable to sleep because someone somewhere might be having fun.

Nevada Fun Tax? Are they now taxing Strip Clubs and Soiled Doves Houses?

Let's glance behind the curtain here: The writer is upset that the cost of educating illegals is going to be out there, in front of the population, each and every time they buy a movie ticket, go to a show, etc. Sure, it'll hit a lot of out of staters who come to visit, but the real outrage is that this isn't burying the costs in some abstract mining tax, or ‘just 2% of Walmart’s profits’. It is out there in front of the public eye, reminding them each and every time just how much of their money is being taken from them, handed to teachers, who then teach illegals.
Liberals always abhor anything that exposes their agenda, and absent quashing the funding in the first place, I hope that Republicans let them have their party taxes.

Soiled Doves Houses were taken out of the tax bill. Don’t want to lend legitimacy to it. *eyeroll*

No, it’s not that they toss and turn because you might be having fun. It is precisely because you might still have some discretionary cash left over.

By definition, discretionary cash is something you could spend on something you enjoy.

Yes, and Democrats want to take that away from you if it doesn’t come in the form of an EBT card.

I read it said once that liberals are the new Puritans. Most of them are historically illiterate enough that they wouldn’t understand what you meant if you insulted them with that comment.

A liberal is someone who tosses and turns all night, unable to sleep because someone somewhere might be having fun keeping too much of his own money.

I am not sure what kind of activity “Iron Man” is, and I am sure I do not want to know what a “Burning Man” is.
