3 BILLION IN NEW TAXES FOR OREGON RESIDENTS

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Dixie Gainer’s assertion that Oregon has the 6th highest taxes in the country is true as far as she goes. The 6th highest personal income tax.

When you calculate the total tax burden of property tax, individual income tax, sales & excise tax, Oregon falls to 31st.

And don’t forget the 5.6 billion dollar kicker going back to taxpayers this spring.

3 BILLION IN NEW TAXES FOR OREGON RESIDENTS

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
So – inflation, property taxes increasing far above the normal rate, heating bills and everything else – the total cost of living has jumped enormously, BUT Kotek’s Housing Advisory Council Floats $3 BILLION in New Oregon Taxes.

YES 3 billion in new taxes!

Just weeks after suggesting a 3-year pause on new taxes, Governor Tina Kotek’s own Housing Production Advisory Council released new recommendations calling for more than $3 billion in new taxes. The list was exhaustive, including establishing a sales tax, increasing personal income taxes, doubling the gas tax, and more. 

Can you pay more?

Will more people become homeless because this increase in taxes will push them over the edge? I keep thinking that one of these days I will be taxed out of my house.

I was thinking one morning as I like to do in the quiet of the dawn with my cup of coffee. If I were governor how would I look at my responsibility. Now I could never become governor nor do I want to but how would I look at my roll? I think I would see my job as to make sure as much as possible that every Oregon citizen would have an opportunity to thrive. That would be my job, that is how I would make decisions. I would not pass any bills, like HB 2002, from outside entities. And in a time of financial crisis I would not raise taxes at all. In many states the governors lowered what taxes that they could: Fourteen states have individual income tax rate reductions taking effect in 2024: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire (interest and dividends income only), North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina.

So are you just going to sit there and take it?

Gov. Kotek # 503-378-4582

press 4 to get a list of other ways to contact the governor

The state of Oregon has the sixth highest taxes in the nation.
Many people are leaving Oregon because it is becoming unlivable – crime, murder, homeless camps in your backyard. Our Democratic legislators would like to remove the kicker. Our governor, Tina Kotek, for instance, proposed in 2018, when she was a lawmaker, to use kicker dollars to reduce the state’s unfunded liability for its egregiously generous retirement system for public employees. Kotek suggested the next year that the state keep half the kicker money and use it for transportation projects. The more you give them – the more they spend.

In 1979 Oregon had a Republican governor and that was when the Kicker tax was enacted and in 1999 it was put into the Oregon constitution. And the Democrat leaders don’t like it. I have to say I was a Democrat most my life but I finally grew up and now I am smart enough to just look at all individuals running when trying to decide who would be the best for the job. How is Oregon doing under about 14 years of Dem majority? Not so good it appears. Lots of corruption in the state capitol too but that is for another day.

Game Table (top only)

Game table. 42″ diameter. Solid Oak.
You can set it up for Chess/Checkers or remove the hardwood squares for Chinese Checkers.

There is a crack in the top that has been repaired.

We also have chess and checker game pieces if you’re interested.

Free.
Call or text Gary if interested.

Radial tire cable chains – New – $25.00. Cash.

These are new cable chain for cars & light trucks. I got them for my Corolla, but I no longer have the car.

These have never been used. They are still in their original carrying case, still wrapped in the plastic they came in.

Their model is ‘SC1026’. You can look in the “Peerless Tire Chain Finder” and search for the part number SC1026. That will take you to a page that tells what tires these fit. They include: 14″ and 15″ tires, sizes 185/60 or 185/65, 175/65-15, as well as 185/55-16 and 195/50-16.

If you do a general search for that model number you will see them available through various outlets, mostly in the $50 range.

Thank you for looking!

THIS IS NO JOKE

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I watched Dave Chappell – a comedian – on youtube last night – he is very funny and laughter is the best medicine they say. When I woke up the next morning I was sitting up in bed drinking coffee and thinking, which is how I like to start my day – and I was thinking – I wonder if they have Chinese comedians? It seems an oxymoron as I can think of nothing funny about living as a Chinese citizen in China. When I got out of bed I went to google and looked up Chinese comedians and YES, much to my surprise there are comedians in China, but they have to be very careful and cannot say or make jokes about their government, or its off to the organ donor farm for them. This reminds me of Trudeau who told the Canadian citizens that they certainly could protest but they could not protest anything their government was doing!!. From China to Canada – hmmmmmm

Words like mis-information, dis-information, and mal-information are baby steps to a communist like government, and a new phrase has been added – infodemic!! This means there is too much information!!!!!!!!! – This from the World Health Organization!! who is preparing a treaty whereby they usurp all countries governments and put their own rules in when they call a pandemic – and I think this is where the WHO is moving us to a one world government. Want more information on that? Can’t have it – that would create an infodemic and we don’t want that – do we?

Very slowly our freedom of speech is being taken away and unfortunately most of the sheeples in this country haven’t got a clue. I suspect that is because they don’t have enough information and basically from what I see – they don’t want any. They like fact checkers though who tell them that everything is just fine. Everything is just fine. Just obey. Everything is just fine – really!

But me? I want all the info I can get and even more – so I know what is going on – like what’s in the jab? – or what’s in my food? or why are we getting close to a civil war in this country? I need info so I can make good decisions. There are a lot of dead people out there now who died because they didn’t get enough info. I probably can’t talk about that though – that would be mis-information! or maybe mal-information.

DEFINITIONS – MIS-INFORMATION – incorrect or mis-leading information,
DIS-INFORMATION – false information, MAL-INFORMATION – true information but something the government does not want to be known and now a
NEW ONE TO ADD – INFODEMIC – Way to much information!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think this article contains mis-information?dis-information? mal-information – or just a plain infodemic?

Then go to your nearest communist party cell and report it.

The Future of the Jetty Creek Watershed

Please join North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection
at a free public event:

THE FUTURE OF THE JETTY CREEK WATERSHED

Saturday, February 3, 2024 at 2:00 pm

St. Mary by the Sea (Parish Building)
275 S. Pacific St., Rockaway Beach, OR 97136

Doors open at 1:30 pm for light refreshments and pizza!

Coastal drinking watersheds are in peril. Recently, Jetty Creek and other coastal watersheds have experienced water shortages that are not due to lack of rain alone. Science now shows that forestry practices such as clear-cut logging and pesticides spraying can damage the quantity and quality of drinking water. Like other coastal communities, Rockaway Beach is now looking to acquire and manage its Jetty Creek watershed. To help us all understand what this entails, the NORTH COAST COMMUNITIES FOR WATERSHED PROTECTION is offering a three-part speaker series, SAFEGUARDING AND RESTORING DRINKING WATERSHEDS, supported by funding from the City of Rockaway Beach. This is the first event of the series.

You need not RSVP to attend, but it will help us plan if you do. Please go to healthywatershed.org to RSVP for in-person or online attendance. PLEASE JOIN US!
