If it was “for the children” they would be deporting illegals because of the rapes and molestations of children by illegals.

Or the children killed by drunk driving illegals.

Or the drugs sold to children by illegals.

I’m guessing it really isn’t for the children after all.

If they simply broaden the existing tax base by making more of their taxes lower but universal, with no/fewer exemptions, deductions, exclusions or credits, and no tax targeted in any special non-universal way. More people would pay taxes, some would pay more, most would pay less, and they’d still raise enough revenue.

Tina Kotex is a lesbian who has no kids, but she is happy to tell you what is best for yours.

She also thinks that the solution to a scarcity of housing in Oregon is rent control.

They are getting rid of the business income tax and replacing it with a sales tax, while it seems twice as high. That can be lowered rather easier where as the income tax is hard to get rid of and offen imposes other costs for which there is no recovery of assets by anyone.

a 0.95 percent tax on annual business sales

That's a tax on gross revenue, not income.

Someone should point to the empty Textronix parking lot

Mostly haven't they shrunk because of competition and changes in the market, not moving to another state. Or have they? They still list this as their "regional headquarters" on their website:

14150 SW Karl Braun Drive
P.O. Box 500
Beaverton, OR 97077

Coincidentally, Oregon business owners are now googling How To Move Your Business Out Of Oregon.
