A few years ago you had only to mention at any cocktail party the name of Nevada to hear the gnashing teeth of the Liberals present. Nevada reminded them that there was one state left that levied no income tax, no inheritance tax, no gift tax, no corporation tax, and no sales tax, and, on top of that, was egregiously solvent. When, however, the state legislature, as our authors put it, was “maneuvered by a powerful school bloc into promising vast sums of money to finance education,” Nevada at last got its sales tax. And the Liberals can now assuage their distress over other people’s happiness with the hope that eventually the other chains of financial servitude will be riveted around the necks of the individualists who live on America’s last frontier.
