I just learned that Oregon residents can get a tax credit of up to $50 a year for political donations. Wow. I can't believe I didn't know about this before. A completely "free" way to make political donations. My money this year is going to stoporegontax.com. Why? Multnomah County is already charging its residents an additional 1.25% income tax. If this new Oregon tax passes, the total tax increase for Multnomah County residents will be over 20% in a single year! I would gladly vote "yes" for a sales tax, but no more income tax increases!
