Vegas & The Economy

On Sunday I returned from Las Vegas after being there for the Badgers football game. You want to see a hurting economy... go there. And a lot of people who earn more than $250,000 are the very people who make Vegas go. And who gets hurt when they don't go or spend less? Taxi cab drivers....waitresses......waiters......hotel workers.... etc. So while it makes some people feel good to raise taxes on higher income persons, the real hurt is felt by hard working people. And when our leaders make comments disparaging Las Vegas, it only exacerbates the economic woes of places like Vegas.
