text: "Oregon can and should help reduce U.S. emissions by adopting a statewide carbon tax in which polluters pay proportionately."  Exactly who are these polluters in a state of only 3.8 million people?  Is it 80% of us who work at grocery stores, fast food places, waitresses and waiters,  the  one who changes the sheets in the hotels,  the  mechanic who fixes your car?   Can it be that these people are the polluters  who should be taxed on their income because they work and live?  I like to know, where people learn this kind of idiocy.
