A state-wide voter referendum in Oregon has passed "handily" a tax increase on the wealthy and on corporations.
Oregon has not raised taxes on corporations since 1929. And this is the "first voter-approved statewide income tax increase since the 1930s."

We consider this a first rebellious shot by the squeezed middle class.

Bob,
ReplyDeleteStart a radio show or a radio station. It sounds as though you would be very successful.

ReplyDeleteWe have a radio show already. It is Watauga Talks and airs every Friday at 9:00am on WATA 1450.
ReplyDeleteThe current host of Watauga Talks is leaving to run for congress.
ReplyDeleteHe isn't the host he is just a co-host. The lady on the show has been the host from the beginning.
