Thank you Lola, for your comment about your willingness to pay taxes and participate fully in our community of Portland OR USA Earth.  Their are many options to avoid things we don't like, but participating fully is also my goal.  I am not wealthy... living paycheck to paycheck with a family of three.  I work hard to volunteer and have a positive impact as best I can.  Gardening, biking, helping others.  

Mostly, I would like to find a way to break all of the state given tax breaks.  I believe one of your guests mentioned a federal concept of 100% tax against state tax breaks.  lets get back to simple

Love,

Ben
