question:
Excellent piece. People don't realize that it is ultimately the consumer who is pinched by these so-called business-only taxes; they are more or less pass-thru charges that hurt businesses (impairing their ability to compete with companies not exposed to the same taxes), workers (when costs of being in business go up, companies lay off workers), and consumers who pay higher prices for the same stuff as they did before. Enough is enough. Perhaps the hostile tax environment may be part of the reason that the economy is so services oriented in Oregon. A lot of the Fortune 500 companies have left. The problem with such a services-oriented economy is that it is not very flexible. So, when economic downturns come around every 8 years, or so, the Oregon and other services-oriented economies (e.g. Arizona) is hit harder than the national average; a lot of the money used to pay for those services is sourced from discretionary income. In recessions, people have less discretionary consumption.
answer:
No

question:
Agreed, you left out the part about how we are entering a recession but our legislature continues to bury its collective head in the sand. They continue to believe oil prices will rebound and save the state, and why shouldn't they, I mean it's happened many times in the past right? Yes indeed it has, but that was when we were pumping millions of barrels of oil a day and only needed $50 or $60 a barrel to balance the budget, not the $100+ a barrel were hoping for now.

They refuse to believe it because they know that implementing a more balanced state revenue stream would require some form of taxes. Taxes would likely spell the end of many political careers, so we are left with a bunch of ostriches in Juneau with their heads in the sand.......
answer:
Yes
