That last statement is ironic as hell. Some folks might say "work in the public sector and you're evil as hell." So yeah, it's definitely class warfare......
So what happens when everyone figures out how to make less than 25M. And Oregon gets jack shit? The whole measure is stupid.
Big corps paying the calculated tax are not gonna pass anything onto the consumers cause this wont affect them.
Not defending. It's just not a good bill. But hey, that's why we vote on this shit. Open public discourse is great.
If this doesn't pass, I hope to see something similar (but better written) in two years. Much like recreational marijuana when it first failed, despite heavy support, because people realized the initial measure was poorly written, so they tweaked it based on the feedback from the public, then put it back on and it passed easily.
Instead of making up more taxes. They need to fix the loopholes of keeping money offshore, for a LOT of things.
And you sound like the guy who would yell: "GET A JOB!!" To a homeless person all while ignoring the FACT that to be employed you need and address and phone... Here's another newsflash Most rich people are so monied because they're a part of the lucky sperm club. They're not job creators. You and I are because we like bourbon. Pay. The. Fuck. Up.
So we tax them and they impose higher prices on us so we tax them so they impose higher prices on us. It's a never ending fucking circle and yet they still do what they do. There has to be a more creative way to do what you want to do.
This example is broken. One, wineries sell to distributors, not the other way around. Two, maybe one or two wineries here in Oregon has revenues above $25 million. But it's probable we don't have any with that level of revenue.
See how dumb that sounds? Comcast, Monsanto, IBM, and Nike are somehow gonna make less money.... No they're gonna find a way to make less money... Doesn't sound plausible huh?
