Vote Lathrop for attorney general

I’m voting no on all taxes increases. We could give you 100 trillion dollars and homelessness will still run rampant in Portland.

[@aaronbretz6323]

The Secretary of State salary was definitely too low, but the solution is NOT an unelected commission to set salaries. Educate the voters on the issue and do it the right way, through the budget process

[@TheAndrewsAve]

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.

I just moved to the area from Spokane, right into the 5th District. Let's do this.

Vote no on measure 118! If passed it will be way worse than a sales tax. All the senators and even the governor are against it.

[@curtismcallister9569]

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

[@trevinbeattie4888]

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.

[@wombat5274]

​@@trevinbeattie4888 Good. Research the measure and see what both side have to say. Just because you see some names you don't like who oppose the measure doesn't mean the measure will be good for the working class. I am voting no because I looked into it after I got a misleading text asking me to vote yes. The people behind the measure are using populist language to persuade people to vote yes.

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.

[@saahiliyer11]

@@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.

@@saahiliyer11 I’m not familiar with the study but I’d recon your lack of ability to adequately abstract the underlying study/concept marks you as not an economist or expert significant enough to speak regarding the topic. Unfortunately, you can still showcase your ignorance with your vote.
