Nevada's biggest "Pigs at the Trough" are casinos and mining. They are also selfish citizens and their enablers are too. They have nearly destroyed the state's financial solvency because of their unwillingness to participate in broadening the tax base and by creating a casino and development bubble in Clark County that went bust.

     Gimme, gimme "Pigs at the Trough".

For mining it is almost no taxes and shipping their wealth to Canada and for casinos it is the paying the lowest tax rate in the world and investing their profits in a Communist country.

     Un-American "Pigs at the Trough".

They have millions to spend on lavish salaries for their executives and lobbyists but for casinos that does not translate to living wages for  hotel and food service workers. They take but don't give, they control Nevada's governments with lobbyists and make laws to benefit themselves all the while claiming they are fighting to survive like the rest of us.

     Self centered "Pigs and the Trough".

Their squeals of horror at taxes bring out their piggy friends such chambers of commerce, political research institutes, a Las Vegas newspaper and tea-party types who think Nevada has a bloated state government. In reality, they just want more stuff from governments they don't want to pay for.

     Don't tax me "Pigs at the Trough".

They are indifferent to the suffering of Nevadans and feel no shame. Like a psychopath, they see nothing wrong with their behavior.

     Psycho "Pigs at the Trough".

They want no part in actually paying for services such as education, public safety, prisons, and health services they want.

     I want it but won't pay for it "Pigs at the Trough".

They think it's fine state employees continue to take a hit on the salaries, pensions and benefits so they can benefit with low or almost no taxes.

     Pay my way "Pigs at the Trough".

They think anything government is bad and anyone who works for one or depends on one is too but it is they who are the pigs at the trough. They just don't see it and they do not understand that in Nevada the people who work for government are their caretakers and allow them to thrive with generous laws, low taxes and low wages. And what they don't pay, every Nevadan and visitor to Nevada must pay out of their pockets.

     Don't care about the other guy "Pigs at the Trough".

Don't think so? Well consider this.... they own politicians with their donations and through their lobbyists they write laws they want and in the end control the governments they criticize.

     They are the ultimate welfare "Pigs at the Trough".

They even get Nevadans to believe their sob story to protect their corporate welfare.

     Lying "Pigs at the tough".
