According to Dean Heller’s website,
Democrats in Washington are close to finalizing a bill that would apply an income tax surcharge to “individuals with gross incomes of more than $200,000 and families with incomes of more than $250,000.”
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, House Republicans including Congressman Dean Heller find the potential tax to be misleading.
According to Congressman Heller, this tax would extend well beyond the rich in its effects. Rep. Heller noted that most small businesses gross more $250,000. “This hits small business,” ” I have a real problem when you start taxing small businesses at a time when 11 percent of Nevadans are unemployed.”
Heller also said national health care is a way for the government to offer insurance for illegal immigrants.
Spokesmen for Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., and Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., both said they would not comment until the legislation is finalized.
