  10. Re:Some (more) Important info about Oregon on Oregon Considers GPS-based Road Taxes · · Score: 1

    Things in Oregon are worse than many think. As of today, New Year's Day, the minimum wage just went up to $6.90/hour. As this seems good news to the burger jockeys, it's bad news to the rest of us. For those of us who make under $14/hour, this is horrible. The cost of living goes up dramatically, and to make up for having to pay higher minimum wage, Employers fire or lay off employees. My rent is going up because of this. Prices in all the grocery stores are going up because of this.
    Where does all the money go? The state legislature. Senators and Reps taking our money and spending it on themselves. Thank God we have Peter DeFazio, who keeps the working class here in Oregon in the game at all. I think it's time we start looking at where our taxes go. We are having tax hikes to keep education budgets from being decimated, but only because THAT IS WHERE THE REPS AND SENATORS CHOOSE TO TAKE THE MONEY FROM. This is the case in all states, not just one where $10.50/hour before taxes = $7.60/hour after.
    We are also NOT all hippies and dirty chiba monkeys.
