Not only does Trump want a repeat of his tax scam that padded the pockets of his billionaire friends, he would enact a middle-class tax hike that will force Nevada families to pay thousands of dollars more in taxes every year,\u201d <strong>said DNC Spokesperson Stephanie Justice<\/strong>. \u201cNevadans know that if Trump gets another term, he\u2019ll rig the economy for the ultra-wealthy again at their expense. Nevada voters are ready to send Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz to the White House \u2013 the only candidates in this race who are fighting to bolster the middle class, lower costs, and put workers first.
