If the state imposes higher taxes on Oregon companies, this increased burden will slow the creation of jobs and discourage corporate growth. We need to make Oregon an attractive state in which to do business so more companies will relocate here or start up here.

Regarding taxing the higher wage earners in Oregon, this will encourage them to leave the state. When will supporters of higher taxes realize that it's people with money that start companies that create jobs?

Our state has plenty of money, it's about how it's allocated and spent. Cut the waste!
