Right. And both housing and gaming were based primarily upon illusory high housing prices and the apparent but phony wealth generated therefrom.

Where’s the logic behind the claim that HIGH TAXES cause prosperity? Prosperity makes people tolerate high taxes.

Nevada is in deeper trouble because of it’s lack of diversity in its economy. Gaming and housing are both in the doldrums, thus is the state.

But is Krugman the alien or the predator?

What would you say to the idea that Nevada is in the pits now (highest unemployment, bankruptcies, etc) because of a “one-dimensional”, “cheapest state government” economy with no income tax? (Source:http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/22/reid_leads_in_nevada_senate_race)
