I believe that Oregon cannot raise taxes without the vote of the people. Since there are so many ex-Californians living there, they will most likely agree to higher taxes.
It looks like the looter socialists are finally running out of other people’s money.
Why not? Oregon is full of dems, and if there's one thing that Geithner, Daschel and Rangel have taught us, it's that dems don't pay taxes anyway
They already did, in Feb. Measures 66 and 67 were supposed to be the fix.... it was the largest tax hike in the history of the state.
It KILLED state revenues as well as any hope of economic recovery here.
Freaking moronic idiots...
Now, we have relatively easy access to referendum here and those two legislative actions were referred to the voters with a lot of help and guidance from one of my favorite groups, Americans For Prosperity.
Since there are so many ex-Californians living there, they will most likely agree to higher taxes.
And late last year those ill informed voters did exactly that. And it did bring forth, almost immediately, the expected exodus of many small businesses from the state. Those on the thin edge of profitability, seeing new taxes taking them into the red, have absolutely NO REASON to remain in Oregon, and they are leaving.
