Some bad news for Nevada business owners from the Las Vegas Review-Journal - Nevada jobless tax rate boosted 12.5 percent (link below)
Tax increases on businesses do not happen in a vacuum. While any one tax may not be harmful in and of ...itself, the cumulative effects of these tax increases will make it harder for Silver State companies to stay open, expand, or hire workers.See More
This is just another reason why we should not raise tax rates on family-owned small businesses as part of the fiscal cliff solution. We should increase revenue by closing tax loopholes and deductions used by the wealthy and large corporations.

Yesterday, I sent an eNewsletter highlighting my most recent work on your behalf. Inside you'll find an update on the fiscal cliff negotiations, a bill to kick start the economy, and the latest on the Benghazi investigations.
Click the link below to read the full newsletter.- The Tax Foundation estimates that a family of four making $65,000 per year would see a tax hike of $2,000 next year if Congress cannot avoid the fiscal cliff. Those increases would come from the loss of the child tax credit and expiring tax...rates. Raising tax rates will hurt our economy and cost us jobs. The House has passed a bill to stop this tax hike so you can keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket.See More

Check out this POLITICO story on how increasing taxes could harm small defense based businesses. Nevada is home to many businesses that would be hit by a job-killing tax hike.
"Many small businesses would be directly affected by the expiration of Bush-era income tax cuts at year’s end because, if organized as an S Corporation, income taxes are paid at individual rates. And if the cuts expire, the rates would shoot up."Rep Joe Heck shared a link.
