Every time I see this commercial all I think is: "blatant misuse of statistics." This is like concluding that california's government is over-spending because they spend more than Rhode Island. Real dollars per capita, anyone?
Really? I say I may lose my job if these measures fail and I get a thumbs down? That's outrageous. Please go read the ad watch on the oregonian's website. It explains how the claims in this video are misleading and wrong.
Most state workers earn less than $40K a year and they are the bad guys? 88% of the corporations in Oregon pay $10 income tax yearly while working families pay $3100 on average. And, talk about job losses, when will these corporations stop outsourcing and start paying Oregonians a fair wage instead.
I work in a group home where I help support people with Autism. I make just a little over minimum wage. The funding for this program comes from the state. If measures 66 and 67 do not pass, I may lose my job. I fear for the future of the people I support. What will happen to them if their funding for disability services are cut??? Please do not listen to corporate liars.
this video is just not true. All state workers took furlough days and pay cuts, some more than others. I love when lies are presented as truths. No one believe this, its just outright lies.
What a croc of crap... State Employees did not recieve pay rasies in fact everyone took a major pay cut and of course are losing more wages with the furlogh days we are forced to take..

Like most Repubican propaganda, this video ignores reality and flat-out lies. I hope people aren't falling for this crap.
