Help Fight the Cost of Hot Air in Oregon!
Oregon’’s economy came roaring back after the 9/11 recession and with that increased prosperity came increased state and local spending at a higher rate than most states. A series of studies by respected economists in Oregon clearly demonstrates that Oregon overspends compared to other states in total expenditures, K-12, health and hospital, highway, police and corrections and finally welfare expenditures. In fact, Oregon now spends $6,376 per year for every man woman and child and grew it’’s state budget by over 21% last session. This creates enormous pressure to raise taxes and fees on Oregonians, which the last legislature did by enacting increases that cost each person an additional $1,041 or a family of four, $4,164 for the two year budget cycle.
Add to this unsustainable state spending the proposed new climate change taxes, plus possible gas tax, tobacco tax, statewide property tax increases, coupled with the federal AMT tax hit, the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and many new local bond and levy ideas on the ballot this fall and it becomes clear that the overall burden on taxpayers will take it’’s toll on our jobs and economy.
We want to reverse the negative economic trend in the state and create a more prosperous Oregon by putting policies in place which encourage economic growth and lower taxes.
On Saturday, November 15th, you can help turn our state around, by joining Oregon’’s premier grassroots organization fighting for policies which promote free enterprise –– Americans for Prosperity Foundation –– for our Defending the American Dream, The High Cost of Hot Air Summit. Help turn our state around –– register today.
