Ballots will begin arriving in less than a month, but most voters still don’t know there’s an important election in January that will decide the fate of Oregon’s schools and critical services. On January 26th vote will decide whether or not to make corporations and the wealthiest Oregonians pay their fair share.
Measures 66 and 67 protect nearly $775 million in education funding for pr K-12 and community colleges. Don’t Let Corporations Get Away with Paying just $10 in Taxes.
Did you know…
- 2/3rds of corporations doing business in Oregon pay just $10 a year in income taxes?
- The $10 corporate minimum tax hasn’t changed since 1931?
- Last year the average family of four paid $6,100 in taxes? That is more then Prudential, Sprint, MasterCard, and 297 other corporations combined!
- 93% of the state budget foes to vital services like education, health care, public safety and human services
It’s time for a change! That’s why Oregon Legislative passed two targeted tax increases on large corporations and income above $250,000 for couples.
If you’re not in a household making more then $250,000, or running a large corperation, you won’t be paying anymore under these measures.
