Well, I stumbled into your site looking for more info on 66 and 67. I will vote to hold taxes were they are and not give the state of Oregon another penny. When this economic down turn started in early 2008, my family started looking for ways to cut anything waisteful or unecassary out of the budget. What does the Fed and State Gov. do, raise taxes. After living in Oregon since 1979 I’ve learned one thing, the OR state Gov. hasn’t cut one fee or tax one time, that wasn’t forced on them by the tax payers of OR. Where does it stop? Someone has to be the grown up and say NO.
I have two wonderful grandsons and it makes me ill when I think of the debt they have inherited in the past 10 months. Has the whole USA and state Gov. gone off the deep end? Trillions and trillions of dollars in unsecured debt.
All those evil rich people too. We must punish them with higher taxes. Who decided 250K was rich? I know I’ll probably never see that much money in my life time, but I don’t think a family making 250K is rich. More like middle class.
Rich people usually make their money by hard work and taking risks. They provide almost 80% of the employment in the USA. So lets raise their taxes during an economic down turn, sit around with our thumbs in our asses, and ask “where have all the jobs gone”.
Left or Right, the trend is the same, big Gov. looking for ways to take away my freedoms and make me a subject instead of a citizen. I don’t want them to do me any more favors. I don’t want money sent to me that isn’t mine, in the name of Stimulus. Even if it were backed by something, there are better ways of stimulating growth. How about that Hope and Change, A? Zig
