Not in Oregon. We have out of state people trampling through our state everyday, burning up our roads, and they don't pay a dime in sales tax. How farked up is that?

If you want me to read your screed or listen to your rant (I'm looking at you too, Boehner), grow up and stop using "Democrat" in place of "Democratic". Until then feel free to wank off in the corner. No clickee, no readee, no listenee.

Yeah. And a lot of those out of state people are there to buy shiat because there's no sales tax. I've done it. But I'm sure your businesses hate it, eh? All those people coming in from neighboring states to put money into your economy. TERRIBLE!

It is a tactic used by many Democratsin the Democrat Party to avoid the topic at hand.

I thought conservatives LOVED sales taxes!! Tax everyone so that the wealthy can get a big tax cut!!!

Our taxes are high enough.

NJ's sales tax used to be 6% under Governor Corslime farked up the budget because of his Goldman Sachs skills (i.e. perfect example of someone who is epic fail in the private sector ending up in public) and we have a huge deficit. His plan was to raise it to 7% (which it is today) to help pay back the deficit.

Seeing as how Corslime is a Democrat, not only did the money fail to pay back the deficit, but he signed in more entitlement programs and raised property and business taxes as well... and what is the result? MORE DEBT IN NJ.

People and businesses are moving out of my state almost as fast as out of the liberal shiat sanctuary of California.

My house is not expensive by any means, but why am I paying $8000/y on property taxes and WHY does half of it go to farking EDUCATION!!?!!

ComicBookGuy: I thought conservatives LOVED sales taxes!! Tax everyone so that the wealthy can get a big tax cut!!!

Wrong. Conservatives (or Libertarians like myself) feel that everyone who actually pays taxes (middle and upper class) deserve tax cuts.

The corporate tax rate in this country is around 35% and Obambi wants to raise the capital gains' tax to 28% from 15%... when there are no capital gains.

If the new administration (this includes Bawny Fwank, Pelosi and the other crooks) had ANY shred of intelligence, they would realize that businesses are leaving and laying off and no one is investing in shiat.

Lower the farking corporate tax rate to 25% and the capital gains' tax to 5%.. It would also help if the gov't stopped spending money like drunken sailors (and yes Bush was a big culprit of this).

That's why I am absolutely convinced that 99% of all Dems and Repubs are the same farking party. It's either corporate welfare or socialism. The only difference is they put on a show about how much they support/hate abortion and gay marriage while they high five each other in the background because we just gave them more power over our lives.

Fark 'em.

ComicBookGuy: I thought conservatives LOVED sales taxes!! Tax everyone so that the wealthy can get a big tax cut!!!

A lot of us like sales taxes, because they tax economic activity instead of income. They tax wealth not what you earn. In other words it tends to be fair. BTW there is no tax system where the wealthy will not end up paying more. Oh and that rich guy will pay more taxes on his yacht than most of us pay all year round. This article has teh stoopid.

It's like the whole 'evil Wall Street bonuses' thing. I like Boortz's take on it:

"The bonuses on Wall street are down. Ya' hear me? Down! In fact these bonuses are so far down that the State of New York and New York City are suffering. Why? Tax shortfalls. These evil, disgusting, putrid, rancid, decaying, disgusting, putrefying, wicked, slimy, slug-like, monstrous capitalist pig executives pay taxes on those bonuses. The lower the bonuses, the lower the taxes. How much lower? Billions. TS."

It's ok though. Paterson has an ipod and coca cola tax that will solve everything.

If nobody is buying anything then there is no incentive to hire employees for a demand that doesn't exist. And the vast majority of those laid off weren't part of some R&D department.

Didn't hear Boortz railing against the Bailouts did you. He stated it was the one of the worst things to happen in US politics ever. It was taking money from people that earn it and giving it to people who were begging. Of and yes he thinks that someone on welfare buying a flatscreen television is abuse. Welcome to the realities of libertarian thought. If you have food stamps you shouldn't have crab legs for dinner. He doesn't rail against unemployment because the money for it is forcibly confiscated from your pay check.

Boortz is also a best-selling author, but yea an entertainer in the grand scheme. He is, however, spot on about his economic views.

Why don't they just nationalize everything and be done with it.

It's what "everybody" wants, right?

the Ultra Conservative "American Thinker" is a republican plot to get more tax cuts for the top richest 2 or 3% so the rest can pay all the taxes and the rich get richer.

hummm.......reading the news lately, methinks the tax cuts for the rich have not paid off, unless you're rich, of course.

Kulongoski can have his sales tax when the legislature drops the income tax. If they ever do pass the double-tax, I'm moving.

Oregon: Where taxes get you nothing.

Bad roads, poor public services, horribly unreliable mass transit, and crappy tap water in most places.

This State is so mis-managed it's insane. Too bad Vancouver is mostly ghetto, or it would be worth moving across the river. You'll never see more meth-mouth in your life than in Vancouver, WA. Puts Gresham and Clackamas to shame.

Wrong. America has the second highest corporate tax rate in the world (Japan is #1). If it's not to get cheap labor via outsourcing to India, it's to find a tax haven. By lowering corporate taxes to 20-25%, America would become the world's tax haven... but that would give too much power to the private sector, and Comrade Hussein will not let that happen.

all those companies are laying off because the economy is drying up.
the reason the economy is drying up is because our wallStroke banker friends were not being Regulated by Bank regulators/SEC so they could do what they wanted without anyone checking up on them.
that, plus ronnie raygun's and Shrubs tax cuts for big business and the rich helped to dry up the tax base so that government found it harder to do its job.
and of course, the middle/working class has to make up the difference.

I agree that it's bullshiat that a company getting bailout money goes and gives it as bonuses, but on the other hand, did the government tell them "don't give this money to execs"? If they did not put in writing where the money goes, it's free game. I would've done the same because the government is incompetent.

No. Government services are not pay as you go. Get over it. Your tax dollars went to educate other people who didn't go to private school; and, since their education is needed to drive the economy, you get value from your tax dollars. Grow up. Get over it.

Speaking of idiots on the radio. I listened to Limbaugh stutter his way out of a smart conservative caller who pointed out

Capital gains cuts affect people already in the market, but doesn't draw new investors.

Everyone already in the market has enough losses to write off the national debt so they won't have a gain to tax.

So no new investment will be attracted by this.

So the caller is right, obviously.

This is the problem with supply side conservatism. It assumes a pie that isn't just not finite, but infinite. Eventually, you run out of regular middle class people to put into the poor house with your upward wealth transfer and consumption begins to fall. Once you reach that point, which we have, supply side is exposed for the ponzi scheme that it truly is.

Its like having a large stack of firewood that you burn all at once claiming, look how bright the fire is!!! Then your out of wood and your the only solution you know is more wood, which has run out.

That's where we are and they sound like idiots because in truth they always were.

Wait, aren't conservatives creaming themselves over the FairTax? Sales tax would be all we had for taxes.
