“When you buy something for $10 and the clerk asks for “$10.65, please”, you know that you are paying a 6.5% sales tax. But when $4 of hidden VAT taxes causes the item to cost $14, you pay the $14 without knowing that it includes the extra tax.”

Measure 66 And 67 Pa ssed On January 26, 2010:

“Measures 66 and 67 should be labeled Oregon’s Assisted Suicide Law II. They will allow us to watch a state slowly killing itself. They are anti-business, anti-success, anti-inspirational, anti-humanitarian, and most ironically, in the long run, they will deprive the state of tax revenue, not increase it…Reputable economists forecast 66 and 67 will cost the state thousands — maybe tens of thousands — of jobs, and that thousands of our most successful residents will leave the state.”

Barack Obama Plans To Raise Taxes

Sarah Palin — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 06:23:50 +0000

“Mr. Obama is proposing to use the tax code to substantially redistribute income — raising tax rates on a minority of taxpayers to finance tax credits and direct income supplements to millions of others. How much revenue his higher rates would raise depends on how much less those high-earners would work, or how much they would change their practices to shelter their income from those higher rates.”
