If this were really a Corporate tax which would be paid by the corporations, I could go there.  

Since it is actually a sales tax which is going to be passed on to the least wealthy in Oregon by Albertsons-Safeway, Wal-Mart, Bi-Mart, and their pharmacies with none of the usual exemptions for food, medicine and necessities, I can't agree.  

Personally, I will survive with a 2.5% increase in my costs at those stores and pharmacies; Oregon Trail types, those totally relying on Social Security or Social Security  Disability or who are  below the poverty level will really feel the impact.  

The main beneficiaries of this new tax at their expense will be  SEIU 503, AFSCME, and the  teachers and public service union members.  

So let it be written; so let it be done.

Vote your conscience; that's my plan.
