TAX INCREASE: Would you support a proposal to raise income taxes for the average Oregon taxpayer by $150 a year for three years to help plug Oregon's $482 million budget hole?
(snip)...The budget, oh the budget. Something's got to be done about the massive shortfall so the government doesn't collapse, the rivers catch fire, children starve, old people have to eat dog food and artists fail to get grants to throw animal feces on images sacred to Christians. Woe! Woe! Alas!...(snip)
The "shortfall" has nothing, repeat nothing, to do with any cuts in government spending. It has to do with a reduction to the increases in spending they had planned. (snip)
The mainstream media types often say that the rich like to buy themselves a Republican with a fat campaign donation. The Democrats have another way of doing things. They buy themselves voters....

I want the Oregon pols to know that the whole country knows what plans for stealing they are up to. When I have more responses on the thread, I'm going to send the thread to everyone in our legislature and the governor's office!

Personally, I think it's time we dumped these huge corporate environmentalists, and focus on conservationists and industry working together to keep our forests healthy and productive!
