And last I checked the S&P 500 index is up 15% this year and 75% since its floor in March 2009. If you're an investor with cash to put in the market, you're getting rich.
Some of us Oregonians are getting even richer and laughing our asses off at you trailer-park inbred nimrods who vote for half-witted clowns like Rob Cornilles.
Cornilles makes a great sounding argument. That 66% tax rate number does indeed sound pretty darned scary.
Just one problem. It's not true. Marginal tax rates may indeed by 35% for top earners, but the all-in effective federal tax rate for even the wealthiest Oregonians is only 21%.
Numbers don't lie. Rob Cornilles does. He is going to get rolled on November 2nd.
The public employee pension funds are bankrupt... Taxing the life out of the private sector to pay for public sector largesse is fascism...
Mr. Wu, you and your Democrat colleagues have so mismanaged the state budget that there is no end in sight... The state keeps hiring more and more people and there isn't enough of a private sector to support it, especially with the record foreclosures... Tell the public employee unions to take a hike...

Everybody in Oregon should see this debate! Wu is as much responsible for our problems as a state as he is for our problems as a nation!
