Nevada Democrats: Let's Tax Everythng

From the Las Vegas Sun: Each year, Burning Man draws 60,000 people to the Black Rock Desert north of Reno to participate in a weeklong counterculture art festival.
Admittance to the bohemia isn’t free, though. You need to buy a $380 ticket.
Now, some Democratic legislative leaders are looking at the ticket proceeds and wondering why the state doesn’t get a cut.
“It’s how many people and they pay how much?” Senate Majority Leader Mo Denis, D-Las Vegas, said. “I definitely think we ought to look at that.”...
That grates on Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick, D-North Las Vegas, who has launched an effort to simplify the live entertainment tax and make sure it’s applied more uniformly.
And she’s got her eye on events such as Burning Man and the Electric Daisy Carnival.
“Yes, they should pay it,” she said emphatically this week. “I am going to clean up the law.”
That’s not welcome news to Burning Man organizers, who visited Carson City this week to talk with lawmakers about the economic activity the event generates in Northern Nevada.
“We already provide so much money to the state of Nevada for our event,” Raymond Allen, Burning Man’s government relations manager, said when asked if organizers would be willing to pay the live entertainment tax. “It doesn’t seem to apply to us. We fall into a different category. It’s a city.”
Allen estimated the event pays about $4.5 million in fees each year to local, state and federal government entities.

Is there anything the Democrats and some Republicans don't want to tax?
They want to tax casinos, mining and every business in this State.
These fools, the Democrats can't even handle the Stephen Brooks problem, so why do they feel competent they can tax the crap out of everyone else.
Look out in a few years, they will try for the state income tax as well.
