Led by their party leader in Salem -- Rep. Jeff Merkley -- Oregon House Democrats tried to raise taxes 37 times during the 2005 legislature. They did so knowing that Oregon suffered from high unemployment and Oregonians recently rejected their attempts to raise record taxes.
New taxes on:
* Homes
* Small Businesses
* Health Insurance
* Fuel
* New Purchases
They even proposed repealing Oregon's kicker law and passing a sales tax -- an idea that has been previously rejected 9 times.
