Oregon Taxes

 Our Oregon government leaders are always complaining about not having enough tax money to run things. Next year they have increased the license and tag fees on your car. They have also raised the gas tax. This year the stste of Oregon has a 585 million dollar surplus in the tax coffer. They still feel it is important to raise our taxes on as many things as possible. This maxes it much harder for families with children to make it. When taxes raised in the state of Oregon exceed 2 percent of expected revenue, the state is required to kick back the surplus to the tax paying citizens. We should ask our selves why we choose or keep leaders that care so little about us. Thanks for listening. Steve
