The train wreck that is the state of Oregon has been on that path for a long time.  Blaming corporations for taking advantage of the tax law legally ignores the fact that the government enacted those laws.  This sales tax in wolf's clothing will just be another tax that the taxpayers pay through higher prices.   I am undecided about voting for it.  Given all the other taxes I pay in various forms to this state, county and city, and seeing the ineffectiveness of the use of that money, I really don't want to pay more and have the same result.  But a part of me knows that we will need to rebuild our schools and other social support.  This will be a long term process.  And will take a lot of money.  I am conflicted about whether I want to invest more in a state that has been so negligent up to this point.
