Businesses can be expected to pass some of the costs onto consumers

Are these people idiots? Of course, they will pass the cost on and not just some.

Ah. The old tried and failed playbook.

Oregon also wants to reduce the mortgage deduction and Portland wants to introduce a soda tax.

Oregon; where we stick it to the business.

That’s Oregon for ya. I lived there for 11 years and was glad to get the hell out. Pretty state, but f’d up by Portland and Eugene..

[shalom aleichem]

Sounds like Oregon has figured out a way to kill the golden goose. ☺

Who are the geniuses who say that only 42% of increased costs will be passed on to the consumers. It is always 100.

They must have degrees in economics. Only such people are stupid enough to believe such rot.

You'd think that the realization, that you'd need to subsidize or reduce taxes on a bunch of people, if you jacked up the taxes on others, would be enough to make people rethink their plans.

nope

What they would like to do, is jack up the taxes & costs of living so much, that a large portion of the population requires gubmint handouts/subsidies to live. If the welfare class isn't large enough to vote them in and not enough new mooches are born or imported, they must make their own, brand new dependants.

Poof! Welcome to the U.K. !

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.

[Monorprise]

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.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

a 0.95 percent tax on annual business sales

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