Back to the Future — Why Nevada Must End all Taxation

 

In 1955, Nevada introduced its first state sales tax on purchases.

In 1931, Nevada began the first casino tax when gambling was legalized.

But in 2015 — for the first time in Nevada’s history — the state created a business tax.

 

And Nevadans were never told the real reason why.

​

Why 2015? What suddenly changed?

​

By that year, the cost of running the state had exploded far beyond what Nevada’s thin reserves could handle. A major driver — one the state has never openly admitted — was the rapidly rising cost of services tied to illegal immigration.

 

Reports often mention a few hundred million dollars…
but that’s only the visible part of the bill.

 

When you add up all the direct costs, indirect costs, and hidden costs — education, emergency rooms, ambulances, Medicaid, housing support, law enforcement, incarceration, and even agency administration — the real burden on Nevada taxpayers reaches into the multi-billion-dollar range every single year.

 

Instead of telling Nevadans the truth or fixing the system, leaders took the easiest path possible:
create a brand-new tax and send the bill to Nevada families and businesses.

 

That is the real story behind the 2015 business tax.

 

But the real question is: why are there any state taxes at all in Nevada?

​​

 

From the very beginning, every elected official — especially those in the Assembly and the Governor’s office — were meant to be public servants, not public spenders. Their duty is to work for the people, not live off them. Somewhere along the way, that truth was forgotten.

 

Taxes — sales, property, business, payroll — exist because over time, Nevada’s leaders have taken the easy road: taking your hard-earned money instead of creating real revenue for the state. Rather than innovate or build, they’ve chosen to tax and spend — and worse, to waste.

​

It’s become accepted as “normal” that government must tax to survive. But if those in charge cannot generate revenue through vision, investment, and growth — then that alone is a red flag. It means they shouldn’t be in office in the first place.

​

And to make matters worse, since at least 1998, Nevada’s government has quietly redirected tens of billions of dollars of your tax money to support people not even from this country — individuals who are here illegally. By conservative estimates, that total exceeds $50 billion over 27 years.

​

Yet the State of Nevada’s total annual revenue today is only about $33 billion — and it now carries $45 billion in debt, debt that you and your family will pay back, with interest, forever. How did they do this without the public realizing it? They hid it. They buried it in budgets, buried it in bureaucracy — and then they told you everything was fine.

​

That is why, in 2015, Nevada added its first-ever business tax. The amount being spent on people who are here illegally had grown so massive — exceeding $3 billion per year — that the state was forced to create a tax it had never needed before: a business tax.

​

Well, it’s not fine. Every month, roughly $240 of your money — your money — is spent on illegal immigrants living within our communities, while Nevada families are told there’s not enough for education, healthcare, or infrastructure.

​

This is outrageous. It’s a betrayal of the people of Nevada.

 

And while career politicians pat themselves on the back and re-endorse one another year after year — from “Governor Joe Politician” to Joe Biden, or whatever their names are — ordinary Nevadans are left behind, overtaxed, and overlooked. They’re told to get in the back of the line like little children — as if they don’t know any better.

​

To recap — our elected Governors, from our current incumbent in 2022 all the way back to Governor Bob in 1998 — both Republicans and Democrats — have wasted over $50 billion of Nevada taxpayer money — your money — on people who aren’t even Americans.

​

Unless you’re in a coma, it’s time to say enough of this crap.
I’m voting for Donald J. Beaudry Jr. for Governor — and together, let’s end this insanity once and for all.

​

It’s time to roll back everything and go Back to the Future — to a time when our state was built on freedom, not taxation.

​

As the Founding Fathers warned us in the 1760s, during the years leading into the American Revolution:
“Taxation without consent is tyranny.”

​

It’s time to end that tyranny in Nevada — once and for all.

​

To all the real patriotic men and women in Nevada — stand up.

For you, for your family, for Nevada — stand up for what’s right and vote for Donald Jr. Every single man, woman, and child in Nevada will have more money because of what I will do — and many of you will become rich.

​

When I’m Governor — hand to God — I’ll keep your money where it belongs: in your pocket and nowhere else.​

MODELED FIGURES & SOURCES — OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN POSITION

​

The financial figures presented here are modeled using nationally recognized data because the State of Nevada does not publish a line-item accounting of expenditures related to individuals who are in the country illegally — and it has been vague for decades.

To determine these estimates, I rely on three independent, reputable national sources:

​

1. FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) — which calculates the national fiscal burden of illegal immigration at over $150 billion per year, with an average taxpayer cost of roughly $8,776 per individual per year.

2. Pew Research Center — which provides nonpartisan estimates of the unauthorized immigrant population in each state, including Nevada.

3. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) — which offers detailed breakdowns of public-service expenditures such as education, healthcare, welfare use, and incarceration.

​

By applying FAIR’s per-capita cost model to Pew’s Nevada population estimates, the annual cost to Nevada reasonably falls in the billions per year, depending on service usage and demographic distribution. Over the past 27 years, these modeled figures place the cumulative burden in the tens of billions of dollars.

​

For context, Nevada’s fiscal structure — including approximately $33 billion in annual state revenue and $30–45 billion in combined state, county, municipal, school district, pension, and healthcare liabilities — is sourced directly from Nevada’s Legislative Fiscal Report, the Nevada PERS system, and statewide financial audits.

​

Because Nevada refuses to provide transparent accounting of these expenses, modeled estimates are the only honest and responsible way to assess the fiscal impact on Nevada taxpayers.

​

​

 

I have a Vision, Imagine a state with no sales tax, no property tax, no business tax — not even a tax on casino revenue. No more payroll taxes — not just no tax on tips — no more taxes at all in Nevada, on anything. Now imagine that same state pays every man, woman, and child just to live there. Not once. Every single year. Forever.

​

How much, you might ask? Well — if done right, if I’m Governor and allowed to do what needs to be done — every man, woman, and child should eventually be receiving from Nevada, as a dividend, thousands every year. You can spend it. Save it. Reinvest it back into Nevada. It’s yours — to do whatever you want — without taxation in Nevada.​

​

No taxes. No tricks. Just freedom, prosperity, and a government that finally works for the people.

​

You’re probably wondering — "how is this even possible?”
Good. You should ask that.

Because from this page forward — including the DOGE 2.0 plan — I lay out the exact roadmap, step by step, to make every word of this real for Nevada.
No theory. No career-politician nonsense. Just execution.

Let’s begin — buckle up.

 

My name is Donald J. Beaudry Jr. — or as my family and friends call me, Donald Jr. I live at Trump International Las Vegas — and I proudly support the America-First values President Donald J. Trump stands for.
And today, I am officially running for Governor of Nevada.
When I am elected Governor — and given full authority to execute — I will do what no state in American history has ever dared to do. And I will do it fast.

​And unlike every other politician — I already know exactly how to do it.

​​​​

Nevada is being taxed, drained, and treated like a state meant to be exploited — not a state meant to win. I am here to end that — permanently.

 

Here is what Nevada’s future will look like — when I am Governor:

 

Every Nevadan will become financially stronger — and for many, that may even mean becoming millionaires.

 

Nevada will become the most tax-free, opportunity-rich, wealth-producing state on Earth.
Global companies will flood in. Jobs will multiply.
We will unlock generational prosperity — not temporary relief.

 

As our Founding Fathers declared in 1776 — taxation without consent is tyranny.

​

Attention Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents — Nothing Ever Really Seems to Change in Our State, Does It? But What If It Could?

​

Our leaders in Nevada repeat the same talking points every few years — the same promises, the same slogans: “Strengthen law and order. Fix education. Cut red tape to grow the economy.”

​

It’s the same political playbook — spinning like a broken record for decades.

​

And the result? Nevada keeps running in circles, standing still while other states move forward.

 

Who hasn’t heard this before — the same lines, repeated endlessly?

​

I’ve simply reached the point where accepting it is no longer an option.

​

That’s why I’m running — not because it was planned, but because at some point, someone has to step forward.

 

A man with the capability, the vision, the discipline, and the courage to finally take responsibility and get it done.

​

​

The Conversation That Started It All

Just a day before Halloween 2025, I stopped by the Republican Party office here in Las Vegas.

 

I told them I wanted to run for Governor — as a lifelong Republican who believes Nevada deserves leadership that actually delivers results.

 

They discouraged me from running for Governor.

 

They said, “If you do that, you’ll take votes away from the incumbent. Why not consider Mayor or State Controller instead?”

​

I told them, “Those roles matter, but they don’t create structural change. If I’m going to step forward, it has to be in a position that can actually reshape Nevada’s future. Otherwise, there’s no point in running.”

​

They told me to aim lower.

​

I told them Nevada deserves better. The difference is simple — I don’t accept the idea that this state has to stay the way it is.

​

And it made me wonder why the people in charge seem so comfortable keeping expectations that low.

​

I couldn’t help but think — after the poor and deeply ineffective job the incumbent has done in his first term, and even before that as Chief of Police here in Las Vegas — why would anyone endorse that kind of leadership again, before the election even begins or knowing who else is running?

​

I asked myself — what exactly are we settling for here?

 

Who truly wants another term of the same leadership — with nothing new, nothing innovative, and nothing capable of driving real growth for Nevada?

​

Even as a Republican, I have to be honest — the Party’s early endorsement was a mistake.

 

It showed a lack of patience and genuine evaluation before deciding who’s best qualified to lead this state.

​

What are we doing here?

​

If we’re not in this to improve people’s lives and build real prosperity, then we’re wasting everyone’s time.

​

In my view, if you hold public office and don’t have the ability — or the courage — to make real change happen, then step aside and let someone who can.

​

​

The Reality

He served as Chief of Police. What happened to crime?
It increased.

​

What happened with illegal immigration?
No real progress.

​

Now as Governor, what’s changed?
The economy is stagnant, families are stretched thin, small businesses are struggling, and the cost of living keeps rising.

 

Housing costs are up. Wages are flat. Crime continues to rise. And yet we keep hearing the same tired lines from politicians: “Law and order. School choice. Cutting red tape.”

 

And of course, there’s always someone saying, “I’m going to focus on improving school lunches.”

​

Nevada deserves leadership that focuses on real results — not recycled slogans and symbolic promises.

 

Being Governor means having the vision, creativity, and intelligence — the IQ — to actually move things forward and see them through.

​

If you care about the people of Nevada but can’t deliver real, measurable progress, then step aside and make room for someone who can.

 

 

This isn’t fair to the people of Nevada. These are our lives — not political talking points.

​

The so-called leaders in this state are wasting everyone’s time.

​

If the best they can offer is “better school lunches,” then Nevada is facing a much deeper problem than anyone wants to admit.

​

​

The Choice

If you want to end this cycle of empty promises and wasted potential, then vote for me — Donald J. Beaudry Jr.

​

It’s time to unhandcuff our lives.

​

Let’s stop doing this to ourselves — to our families, our businesses, and our future.

 

We have an incredible opportunity in Nevada — to build real wealth and prosperity for everyone.

​

Or we can keep following the same directionless leadership, riding a one-way track to economic decline.

 

Let’s be honest: our so-called “leaders” have taken us nowhere. The same people who waste years talking about progress are the ones holding this state back.

 

And meanwhile, they sit comfortably in the Governor’s Mansion, enjoying steak dinners you paid for.

 

Are we really willing to settle for less — while some politician stands there bragging, “I’m going to push for better school lunches”?

​

For the love of God — Nevada deserves better than this.

​

Call me whatever you want — a Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian — I don’t care about labels.

​

What I care about is results. Real results that lift every Nevadan.

​

The Republican Party can support me or not — either way, I’m running for Governor.

​

It’s time a real leader steps in — someone who understands this state and knows how to move it forward.

​

We can’t keep wasting our lives — or our families’ futures — on empty promises and failed leadership. It’s unnecessary. And it’s cruel.

 

To the voters of Nevada — wake up.

As President Donald J. Trump once said — and it applies here again — I ask you, the people of Nevada:

​

“What do you have to lose?”

​

This election is our Hail Mary — our last clear shot to turn this state around.

​

Either we keep settling for the same broken system, or we finally say, “Enough,” and go for it.

​

—

​

From Trump Tower Las Vegas to the Governor’s Office — the future of innovation and political shockwaves begins now.

Nevada has had enough. I’ve had enough. We will not stand still while our future is being wasted away.

To the incumbent — and anyone else thinking of running for Governor —watch out.

I’m here. And I’m just getting started.
