I'm not usually in line wiht Don Macintire but I have to say on this one I agree with him. It's amaing to hear people like the woman caller that has 4 kids and is afraid this will double her taxes and the write in listener that has his hands over his ears that are so dead against this that they will not even listen to alternatives that may actually help them. Oregonians are in love with this novelty of no sales tax and can't see the benefits that it might bring by chaning it. I'm open to the alternatives that this group has proposed and think we should at least bring this conversation forward. Let's not make decisions based on fear.
