Why Has Nevada Repeatedly Forsaken It's Children?

The children don't even get decent odds thanks to the Gambling Industry!

Uneducated youth is left with hopelessness!

If they won't play fair maybe they shouldn't play at all!

11 Percent of Nevada Students Polled Have Tried to Kill Themselves
Commission Examines Suicide in Nevada
Nevada has the highest suicide rate in the country, and it's the only state with more annual suicides than car crash deaths.

Nevada Casinos Fail to Support Education
Nevada gambling interests have long perpetuated the myth that the industry pays most of the state's bills, especially education. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the gross gaming tax is only responsible for about eight percent of the state's annual budget.

The gambling industry has long been the nemesis of Nevada education, recently adopting a strategy of scapegoating non-gaming business for the fact that the state stands in increasingly poor financial condition. Indeed, industry leaders have even accused some businesses of paying no taxes at all. Their latest strategy is to blame the state's anemic economic diversification efforts for bringing in non-taxed businesses. Gambling in Nevada does not pay its fair share of taxes. The industry does not really care about supporting either education or economic diversification. It wants no competition for our large, undereducated, low-wage labor pool.

The state of Nevada should be able to boast the best education system in the country but instead they have one of the worst, this should be a devastating disgrace to the people of this state, the children of this state should mean more than that! Somebody explain this phenomenon to me please?

WTF, That sucks!!!!!

Yeah, that really does suck! I simply find it amazing that a state with two incomes that basically no other state's have to draw tax revenue from have an education system as bad as Nevada's, a teen suicide rate as high as Nevada's, a drop-out rate as high as Nevada and a college enrollment as low as Nevada's.

Those statistic's suck for all Nevadan's, do you people have no self respect? Do you not give a damn about your children and their education? Do you not realize that upon your retirement these are the children you must count on to run this country and take care of your nasty, greedy, self-serving pathetic asses.

The fact is Nevada offers no hope to it's youth hence, the high drop out rate, high suicide rate. Most Nevada teenager's don't enroll in college or some other higher education because they're not educated well enough or properly prepared to succeed.

I do not understand how the people of Nevada tolerate this, my children are grown and don't live here and didn't have to go to school here, thank god. Now with the economy so poor the first thing the governor does is attempt to cut the education budget nearly in half, to me with the state of affairs here that's the last thing you do. The casino's been pocketing mega profits for ages in this state, they OWE the children of this state and now would be a great time for them to step up and pay their dues! Why does no one in this state care to see that the children get a decent education, I understand the greed of the casino owner's, they have to be forced to pay taxes, loop holes have to be slammed shut! I don't understand why the parents in this state do not stand up for their children and demand better. These our your children, they are our future and we all owe them at least a shot at a decent future and right now the state of Nevada offers them nothing but hopelessness, dead end jobs with low wages and very few lousy benefit's. The "right to work" state, MY ASS! There is nothing good in that statement, nothing to be proud of! Now if this was a "right to receive fair compensation for your work" you might have something going on. The people of the state of Nevada, while they haven't been taught how to use their brains properly need to at least try and get a handle on what's going on here. They need to realize that when they unite under one cause they have the power to make changes, changes that can give their children a better education like they deserve, a chance at a college education, a chance to live a better quality of life.

The fact is the gambling industry has failed miserably in it's obligation to the people of Nevada, they have fallen far short of a moral and ethical responsibility to the communities that have offered up what's close to slave labor for decades now. And here's one last fact for you in this blog any way, if Nevada wants to expand it's business and industry base, get diversified then it needs to improve it's education system, it has to make the gambling industry pay it's fair share for a change, it has to offer the children of Nevada a future of hope, of opportunity and a better quality of life. And this isn't something you should have an option to do, it's something you have a moral responsibility to accomplish, the state of Nevada owes the children of Nevada much, much more and better than what they've given so far. The economy is no excuse for not accomplishing this, it's the perfect opportunity to show the world Nevada does give a damn about their children, they do have a social conscience, ethic's and integrity do matter, set an example, I dare you! WTF, this sucks!

We made history in this country this year during the presidential election proving when we work together for a goal we have the power to achieve it, the education of the children in Nevada needs to be a priority for everyone in this state, a top priority!

It's time we let the children of Nevada know we do care, they do matter and they do have a worthwhile future, it's our responsibility, our obligation or will you continue to allow the Gambling Industry to make you and them a failure?
