Column: Will immigrants pay back taxes?
Submitted by editor on Tue, 12/23/2014 - 9:52amThe Sunday, Dec. 14, 2014 Reno paper had an article “Will Immigrants pay Back Taxes.” As I read that, I wondered if anyone had really tried to guess how much taxes an immigrant living illegally might pay if they lived in the U.S. for five years.
There seems to be some confusion on whether they must pay back taxes. The Obama administration indicated the president “misspoke when he said that immigrants would have to ‘pay back taxes.'" The bill seems to say they, among other things would have to have “satisfied any applicable Federal tax liability."

Are Redistribution and Big Government Working for You?
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 12/10/2014 - 8:45pmDemocrats, modern liberals and progressives often say they’re concerned about income inequality. So, they propose more redistribution: higher taxes on the well-off and higher public subsidies for others.
Adding subsidy increases to their ever-growing regulatory system and other public spending drove total government spending relative to our economy to record post-WWII levels under President Obama. Yet they still want more.
The Sober Truth about Barack Obama's Economy
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 12/10/2014 - 1:51pmThe off tilt haters of Mr. Barack Obama just cannot do enough to try and tear the man down. The GOP Barn is empty for the presidency in 2016-and wise Democrats are all rooting for Romney Trump Kamikaze ticket. The economy is doing well, gasoline prices are way down, and he handled the Ebola "crisis" perfectly. That left wing liberal fishwrap called Forbes recently analyzed the Obama economy versus Mr. Reagan's economy-and Mr. Obama's has outperformed Mr. Reagan's of 30 years ago...

The 2014 Democrat Crack-Up
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sat, 12/06/2014 - 4:05pmThe trouncing Democrats took in November’s elections has opened fissures between their liberal wing, represented by New York Senator Charles Schumer, and their progressive wing, led by President Barack Obama.
Standing uneasily with a foot in each camp is Hillary Clinton. The tiff concerns Obamacare, and 20 years ago, she authored its forerunner, Hillarycare. Having lost both houses of Congress, the party of government (and Hillary) in 2016 may also lose the Presidency if it lacks a compelling message.
Romney at Politics 33 1/3
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 12/04/2014 - 5:38pmThe delightfully great and fresh gossip from a New York Fundraiser that Mitt Romney may yet try again to be our lected president delights every Democrat with their thinking cap on. Mr. Romney ran a weak kneed campaign a couple years ago-but at least he picked a better running mate than Senator McCain-(remember Sarah Palin-the glib attractive charmer who could not answer that very tough question: "what do you like to read?"
Is Nevada missing the boat?
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 12/04/2014 - 10:11amThe last couple of weeks have been quite busy news wise with all the repercussions from Pres. Obama's legal actions regarding immigration. We've all heard people echo their sentiments on both sides of this issue. My question is, why is Nevada not joining the Texas led effort to file suit on the Obama administration along with so many other states? Nevada's silence in this arena is disgusting. President Obama with the stroke of his pen has successfully done what many other anti-American, anti-capitalist and race baiters alike have failed to do since reconstruction.

Open Letter to President Obama and Harry Reid
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 11/19/2014 - 10:31am6 November 2014
Dear President Obama:
After countless failures and broken promises, you've finally started to ask for some answers rather than dictating socialist prescriptions that can never work. You have led your fellow national socialist Democrats to spend money like ghetto addicts with a stolen credit card. Your cabal of socialists will have more than doubled our national debt by the time you leave office and increased long term liabilities beyond a hundred trillion dollars. You have maxed out the national FED credit card.
Amodei and the Minimum Wage
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sat, 11/01/2014 - 9:28pmWhen Rep. Mark Amodei voted against raising the federal minimum wage (H R 803, March 15, 2013), I had to wonder what he was thinking. Anyone who understands even a little bit about the economic history of this country knows that voting to keep the minimum wage where it is now is a vote to keep millions of Americans in poverty and dependent upon welfare just to survive.
