We are raising the tax on small business that employ 80 percent of the public this easily puts many of them in the top income bracket. This makes it difficult to run or grow a business it's obvious vary few of our legislatures have ever had to make payroll, pay medical insurance for employees and provide a retirement program. This puts Oregon at huge disadvantage when states like Washington have no income tax.
