I swear, it never ends in the state with the taxes.

Owners of rentals, apartment complexes and trailer parks often enact an inconvenience bump in rent....usually $25/$50 or so. The idea is it is not enough to do anything other than illicit a few complaints but not enough to cause the "taxed" to pick up and move.In case yall missed it on the news or social media, effective July 1 there is a new payroll tax in Oregon that employees will will pay. It is a transportation tax that is $ 1 per thousand dollars of wages. So if you make 50K, you pay an additional $ 50 in taxes this year. If you make $ 150K, then you pay $ 150.
The employer has to pay this tax with the quarterlies and withhold it. Thanks to you state azzholes for creating another tax and administrative function and line item that I now need to add to our payroll, plus send out an explanation with the next payroll run.
But hell, you all don't mind do you ?? After all it is for the roads.
When I moved into my current house in 1999 the property taxes were right at $3000. Now they are right at $6000 per year, and the whole area has gone downhillI've often wondered why people live/work in OR with regards to the state income tax and high property taxes.
I mean you have to buy A LOT of taxable goods, as in no one buys enough, to overcome the income tax vs sales tax equation. Then add in the higher property taxes...
I used to work in OR and I looked for a job in WA weekly.
Not any industry in my area, so a lot goes to the school district. And someone has to pay for all the section-8 housing, etc. The roads coming into the neighborhoods are getting bad and none have been repaired since 1999...even after those subcontracted utility people dig their trenches and patch the hole like a drunkard.It's getting out of hand really. I'm not even sure what OR does with all the money.

LOL that's what WA did years ago they gave people this deal buy a hybrid or electric and save money on taxes .I imagine that once you register it with the DMV, a statement would be sent to your address informing you of the amount owed. This POS "sales tax" will do jack diddly squat to fix roads in Oregon. From what I heard, it is an incentive that is passed on to people who buy a Hybrid/electric vehicle as a "rebate, essentially robbing from one person and giving to another. Just like the left does already....

Not according to the data in the attached chart. They calculated relative income-tax obligations by applying the effective income-tax rates in each state and locality to the average American's income.Yes, wealthy in WA pay more as they buy more taxable goods. The middle class however enjoys less taxes.

looks like Oregon taxed you three zeroes. It should beSmall wonder why Oregon needs money, being on the hook with a 22 BILLION dollar PERS deficit. That's $ 22,000,000.00!!!
