As a middle aged adult student, unemployed for 1 1/2 years now, I find it hard to believe that there's much argument going on about this.  It would seem that the language/drafting of this measure is faulty if it penalizes small business rather than the intended target, which is suppposedly multi million dollar industries.  If my Oregon tax bill were $10, I wouldn't be calling the oregon dept of revenue to haggle a payment arrangement.  This is yet another good idea gone bad, yet I will be voting yes, as I dont' see how I should pay more in taxes than Schnitzer Steel.
