I’m a self employed freelancer living in Portland.  My income dropped over 50% last year due to the recession.  I just finished my ‘09 tax return and I’ll be paying 50% more on my “TM” and “SP” forms.  What happened to all the money that Measures 66 and 67 was supposed to raise?

I agree with one of your previous callers.  It’s not fair to tax targeted groups whether I’ts smoker’s or businesses.  If Oregonians want these programs, they need to pay for it.  Why not have a sales tax; it’s the only fair way to distribute the cost of these programs to everyone!

What does your guest say about that?
