Just read about this tax people in Oregon want to saddle themselves with and had to look into WHY?

All you "let's tax the rich etc more" fanboys might want to remember that the more you tax things, the less competitive you become.  People (and businesses) have been voting w/their feet for years now as the gap between states such as your own that loves to tax/regulate move to states that either do so less or not at all.

People vote their wallets.  Lifestyle etc are all great but cost of living trumps it.  But go ahead and raise yet another tax, I'm sure that that will draw more businesses and workers to your state.    Good luck
