Jimmy Carter tried that. It wiped out entire industry’s. Morons.

One will observe the impact of the Oregon tax on boats. Not only boats. Marathon Coach builds luxury motor homes in Coburg, OR. They are definitely top end at $2.5 million and up.

Luxury taxes simply take jobs away from workers who build, sell and service luxury items as the rich folks just steer away from spending their money that way. Raising taxes disproportionately on people with money NEVER works.

the idea is never to tax the rich....rich can get around any tax...
it is always and forever going after the middle class....
somehow, someway, it'll always land on the middle class workers....

A tax that will certainly reduce the sales of that company.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
They did a 10% luxury tax on the federal level as part of a debt reduction deal back in 1990 or 1991, and the result was basically the collapse of the luxury boat building industry in the USA.
Oregon government is stuck on stupid.

This kind of politician horsesh*t should be made unconstitutional. If millionaire politicians want to “help” the “po folks”, they should use their own money and not money stolen from the American families who work for a living and not sit on their asses watching crap like “Da View” all day.

If you mean Oregon I agree. I left in 1966 and never looked back. What a shit hole it has become!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
These taxes eventually put the people who build these items out of work.
To: Integrityingovt
I distinctly remember that.
To: KC_Lion
Taxes would be increased to 3% on items deemed a luxury. Examples outlined in the bill include airplanes, expensive watercrafts, high-end cars, jewelry and guns. Witt says once each item goes over a certain price, it will be taxed.
They won't be bot in your state anymore...Simple as that.
Dumb asses.
