Tax rhetoric
I keep reading articles about the “massive tax cut” passed by Congress. Who are they kidding? I would’t call a 2 or 3 percentage point tax rate reduction massive, especially in light of the elimination of many deductions.
I also read that the Democrats claim the tax cut takes money away from lower-income individuals and gives it to the upper 1 percenters. But they never explain how this is done. I guess this is just another unsubstantiated claim by the liberal left.
Another point: Does this tax reform prohibit
high-earning Democrats — such as Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders and the Clintons — from the reform’s benefits? I think not.
Additionally, they claim that 13 million people will lose health insurance thanks to the elimination of the health insurance mandate. Could it be that these are the people who bought insurance only because they were forced to by the government and will now choose to drop it because they don’t want to pay for it?
In my opinion, the opposition to this tax reform is another example of people making accusations without providing proof or evidence. and businesses are built? After all, we are using the “land that belongs to us.”
Property taxes are due in January. Can we just pay for our buildings etc. and deduct the portion for the land?
According to Mr. Grasewicz, it’s not fair that taxpayers subsidize the Regional Transportation Commission’s bus operations while letting the Las Vegas Monorail fend for itself. In the true Christmas spirit, he suggests — that “only 52 percent” of the RTC’S bus “expenses are covered by rider fares” and the rest come from taxes — how is this possibly a good business model? Why not question this before spending more money?
As far as the decaying monorail becoming an eyesore, we live in Las Vegas, the capital of demolition. We follow the creed “out with the old and in with the new” to an extreme. If the system fails, new ones will replace it, saving money and therefore giving joy to us Las Vegans. After all, isn’t that what Christmas is all about?
