The Nevada Constitution sets a minimum size for state government: the 3 branches, limited K-16, prisons, mental hospitals (safety net), a militia. That's about it. Though mining taxes alone could cover the minimum, the Constitution gives the government wide latitude about what to tax. You know, so that it will always be able to pay its bills.
In the past ~150 years the crooked politicians have given us bigger and BIGGER (maximum!) government, which naturally required more and MORE revenues -- including sales tax -- to fund it.
I oppose BIG government, and the high taxes necessary to pay for it.
