Wait what? People want income tax?

My guess is they piggy-backed on some other legislation, maybe. Not a stand-alone bill. At least one would hope. WTF would anyone vote no to a bill that does nothing but save them money?

Oregon doesn’t have state income tax, but their property taxes are ridiculous.

That's how Texas is.

They complain that sales taxes will go up or that programs will be cut. I think there is a provision in it that allows them to have authority to tax somewhere else. Personally I'm all for no income tax. Although I'd prefer no property tax but that will never happen.

My guess is the ones bitching don't actually have to pay taxes. The net negative people if you will. And those same people are worried because if sales tax goes up they actually will pay more in taxes.

I should add that Oregon doesn’t have sales tax either

From Grok:

The DNC is roughly $2 million in debt; the Republican National Committee has about $128–130 million cash on hand.


What a shame.

The People's Honours

Anytime you see "People's" it's suspicious. Like People's Liberation Army, or Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Growing up, I always figured there was an ebb and flow to politics. This is something completely divergent and dangerous. This bothers me a lot.

This bothers me a lot.

It should bother every citizen of this country. Too many stupid and easily malleable people in this country, though. The free stuff mantra brings in the lazy contingent, and unfortunately, that is a huge contingent.

Say “free” and their ears perk up and the doglike devotion begins.

I’m sure it’s something about without income tax the rich exploit the poor and all

While the sane person would say she doesn’t stand a chance, there are a lot of insane people voting. Her sitting in the Oval Office scares the shit outta me.
