Agreed! I think all elected officials should make much more money and with that increase should come stipulations like they can't buy/sell stocks while in office, work for lobbyists or special interest groups post-elected office. Let's incentivize what are incredibly important jobs with the money they deserve and stop incentivizing these people to look elsewhere for their financial security.
You are correct Leroy. In fact that 100 million would probably disappear like most of the money that is sent to or collected by Oregon. Almost like . I don't know, there's corruption
The tax increase is to big business not individuals, and it isn’t used for homelessness. It goes directly to tax payers. Homeless people don’t pay income taxes.

less than 2% of all corporations operating in oregon would be affected by measure 118. mostly because most corporations do less than $25 million in sales per year in oregon. and partly because some corporations already pay more taxes than the new minimum set by measure 118: olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2023I1/Downloads/CommitteeMeetingDocument/285711
Also opposing the measure (according to one of the arguments in the Voters’ Guide) are: Koch Industries, Grocery Retail PAC, Washington Federal Bank, and Progressive Insurance. I think I’d rather read the text of the measure and assess for myself what its impact would be in contrast with the current tax law.

Any time you tax a company all you do is raise your own cost of living because the increased tax is reflected in the prices you pay for goods and services.
@@Unsolicited-Info But it’s never 1:1. This is the same argument that was made and debunked with the minimum wage and fast food. Yeah, in theory the minimum wage hike gets passed down in the form of higher prices, but when you actually do the math with how many Big-Macs McDonalds actually sells, it’s a few cents if even that. Most people quite literally lost more money to their couch cushions.

People voting no on restrictive ballot measures that take power away from elected officials is why we can’t have nice things. Of course all the officials are gonna tell you to vote no on taking away their ability to raise their salaries. And of course all the officials who are owned by big businesses are gonna tell you to vote no on getting back the taxes paid by big businesses because then they would actually have to tax them.
