I have an above-average household income and my tax rate won't even raise that much.
I missed your response to this thread for some reason. You haven't met your 2014 and 2015 tax and insurance bill. It will make your liberal butt pucker unless your union can screw a raise out of the taxpayer.

I wouldn't count on that. The old tricks of cutting the school bus first and stuff like that are not gonna sway people who are already busted.

You can't pick a pocket when it's empty. Now running an $8BN deficit a year, can blue Oregon not bankrupt? Oregon now spends $14,700 a year for high school students so that 90% of them can flip burgers and work in the car wash. 99% of these kids will never see 50 grand again in their lives.

This is my neighborhood. Full time workers who are on food stamps and rental assistance and getting a negative federal tax rate for having two kids.

The difference between this and 30 years ago? You could live on $10 an hour.
