You are still wrong, because "net gain in tax receipts for Nevada" is not identical to a net gain in the economic pie. It's not necessarily better for the USA,

You are still wrong, because "net gain in tax receipts for Nevada" is not identical to a net gain in the economic pie. It's not necessarily better for the USA, and if a loss of benefits per capita is realized, might not even be better for Nevada. You are correct when you say economics was not zero-sum, and according to some people the government is too big, but that wasn't what your claim was about.
