\"Chuck\"<\/a>(Muth Truth) – Carson City — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval<\/strong> (R&R Partners) made his pitch for his Billion Dollar Tax Hike to the Legislature on Thursday<\/span> afternoon.<\/p>\n

But instead of legislative Republicans declaring it dead on arrival, Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger-with-a-taxpayer-subsidized-TV-show, Jon Ralston<\/strong>, reports that a GOP alternative will be presented in the Republican-controlled state Assembly next Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssembly Republicans have crafted a tax plan that is a hybrid of the business license fee component used by the governor and an expansion of the payroll tax plan sought by some business types, sources confirm.\u00a0 The plan is expected to drop Monday<\/span>, the deadline for committee bill introductions.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please ignore the fact that Mr. Ralston apparently doesn\u2019t know how to spell \u201clicense\u201d or \u201cgovernor.\u201d\u00a0 The outrageous thing is that the Assembly GOP\u2019s alternative plan \u201cfully funds the governor’s budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, Nevada\u2019s Republican governor is proposing a billion dollar tax hike – with no spending cuts in the budget – and the Republican majority in the state Senate is prepared to say \u201cAmen!\u201d while the Republican majority in the Assembly is prepared to say \u201cYes!\u201d to a Billion Dollar Tax Hike, just not the same billion dollars in taxes that the governor wants to hike.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it\u2019s Democrats in the Legislature who are proposing to kill the asinine Modified Business Tax that taxes businesses for hiring employees.<\/p>\n

Is this some kind of sick joke?<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s start being honest about this tax hike, shall we?<\/p>\n

Almost half of SandRINOval\u2019s tax hike will come from a new gross receipts tax that he\u2019s calling a \u201cBusiness License Fee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which according to some Republicans isn\u2019t really a tax hike because they\u2019re calling it a \u201cfee\u201d and you can avoid the fee simply by, you know, not opening a business.<\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019s a GREAT<\/span> economic development plan, huh?<\/p>\n

Anyway, I had lunch with a friend today and let him know that his current annual business license fee of $200 would jump to over $11,000.\u00a0 But he wasn\u2019t worried and had no objection.<\/p>\n

He said he\u2019s just going to pass the expense on to consumers!<\/p>\n

And believe you me, he ain\u2019t the only one.<\/p>\n

The fact of the matter is, businesses aren\u2019t going to pay these higher taxes\u2026er, excuse me\u2026fees.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re gonna pass them on to you and me in the form of higher prices.<\/p>\n

Or close up shop and put a lot of you out of work.<\/p>\n

Our Republican-in-name-only governor is screwing YOU<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Republicans in the state Senate are screwing YOU<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Republicans in the state Assembly are screwing YOU<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Are you tired of constantly being screwed yet?<\/p>\n

This is why it\u2019s not enough to just elect more<\/em> Republicans.<\/p>\n

We need to elect BETTER<\/span> ones, as well.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, break out the pitchforks and light the torches!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FAMOUS LAST WORDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf they approve the new business tax, I\u2019m closing my doors and letting my five employees go.\u00a0 With all the employee taxes, insurances, my 300% increase in health ins premium, EPA, State Fire Marshal, DMV, etc., etc., and chiseling insurance companies, we are tapped out.\u00a0 What is he (Sandoval) thinking?\u201d –\u00a0 Deb Bonetti, Last Chance Auto Body, Elko<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
