Hellfire. We're going to have to sell more shares In Radio Air America to cover the extra costs of incorporating there.

Those that can will leave the state, just like they did in New York.  Illinois has also been considering raising taxes, either on everyone or just the "rich".

Exactly!  And the other states will be the beneficiaries of a net flow of intelligent, capable, hardworking people who want to get ahead and make a life for themselves, and Oregon, like New York and Illinois, will get a net inflow of slackers, liberals, and DU primitives who want to cash in on the better free-ride being advertised.

The unions outspent the anti-tax crowd 4.5-1... plus factor in the media.
