Tax The RICH? Blame LIBERAL VOTERS of OREGON!
If the Liberals in Oregon vote to tax the rich (250k /yr or more), all it will serve to do is have these rich relocate themselves and their businesses and tell Oregon to go blow off.

Tax the Rich, then blame them for leaving and causing unemployment to be even higher.
Typical Liberal logic
One would think the situation in Kalifornya would be a neon flashing warning sign.
All it will do is send the “rich” to other states. California has had an exodus for years because of their looney laws. Lets hope Oregon does not follow suit.
Rich people, or “employers” as I like to call em’....
I’ve had many jobs in my lifetime and not ONE of em’ did I call a poor man “boss”....

Me thinks the Seattle Times realizes Washington stands to gain if the taxes get raised in Oregon!
I’m telling ya,
along the Oregon coast Cape meares area is so beautiful I nearly folded here in Florida to go there.
So liberal I’d have gone to jail for weapons posession, and any number of a multitude number of anti social laws.
9 out of 10 Oregoners (?) will love relocating to tax-friendly Texas !! Come on down!
Welcome to the South! All rich, job-creating people are welcome here.
I am an Oregon CPA and work for a small accounting firm in the Portland area. I have had two conversations with wealthy clients in the past couple of months about moving out-of-state if these silly ballot measures pass, one to Las Vegas and one across the river to Vancouver, WA.
One of the reasons I love the Fair Tax is that the “poor” will finally be made to pay their fair share...
HA....we might want to use your services....looking for CONSERVATIVE CPA....and the new company we are starting is waiting until AFTER Tuesday, to decide WHERE to locate...
It’s badd enough the way the economy is right now in Oregon but if they vote it in they’ll just be shooting themselves in the foot just like Kah-lee-for-nee-ya!
We would be delighted to serve you.
Intelligent idiots with not an ounce of business experience
The sad thing is that with meltdown in California, Oregon had a real opportunity to attract companies and diversify our economy. Instead the Governor and the Legislature decided to tax our way to prosperity. I expect we will lag behind the rest of the country in the recovery by two to three years as we have in the past.
the whole decent state lets Portlandy control everything....maybe they'll wake up now....
Washington has its own rat run govt, but at least we don’t have an income tax YET....
