Here in Florida - the illegals/Haitians, unemployment tax up 10X and Charlie Crist are doing our best to send Texas more jobs.
Siemens AG just sent you a bunch from Fl. We will send a more next week.
YEAH...I know....a Major high tech corp is moving out....to TEXAS! And, if THESE pass....it’s going to be TERRIBLE
Multnomah County passing it 3 to 1.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about....you are economically illiterate
Oregon is owned by the public employees unions.
The results are discouraging, especially in the wake of the Massachusetts results last week.

Ignorance on parade.
I was thinking about moving to Oregon, but that idea is gone. Too many stupid people there, obviously.
They’ve baited all those well-to-do Californians up there for a long time with the promise of low taxes. Now it’s time for the commie leeches to begin the bloodletting, I guess.
I had a trip to Oregon planned for the fall-would have spent a week there and spent in the vicinity of $2,000-just cancelled it!
Helloooooo, Montana and Idaho!
As opposed to plain illiterate? My comment has nothing to do with economics and everything to do with populism.
woohoo, Go Texas!!
lol
I wonder how many idiots will be shocked when they wake up tomorrow and go to work.... only to be handed a pink slip?
I predict not less than 20 0regon media reports of an "unexpected" rise in unemployment.
You would think these people would some day realize that you don't go to a homeless person and apply for a job. You go to people with money, people that own businesses and apply for a job. But, when you confiscate their wealth they don't have the money to hire you. Hey Oregon.... YOUR FIRED!
Are you in Oregon? Do you know about these measures???
“not a lot of sympathy for people earning 250,000+”
Why do they need sympathy?
A sane human would feel hope and joy to know that people still earn that much.
A ignorant, self-destructive, mental midget feels envy, aka, hate.
There was a time when a man could defend his home and his wealth by killing those who tried to steal it. Those were good times, in that regard.
oops your = you’re
bunch of idiots in that state sadly.
good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup. Socialism 101: Hurt the economy, use class warfare to create horrible policies that further hurt the economy, repeat. The goal is to create as much government dependence — and therefore power — as possible.
Only works on dumbed-down subjects. Thanks, NEA! Unfortunately, it apparently works very well on dumbed-down subjects.
my hope is that several businesses respond immediately with just this action. Delayed response will not be as effective.
