      From the article: Oregon voters will decide this fall whether to increase corporate taxes to establish the nation’s largest universal basic income program. Funded by a new corporate tax, it would give every Oregonian an estimated $1,600 per year.
      If approved, Measure 118 would institute a 3% tax on most corporations’ total sales in Oregon above $25 million and distribute the money equally among residents of all ages and incomes. The system would go into effect next year.

      I’m sure those companies won’t raise prices 3% or more to offset…

      Lol can’t wait for companies to increase their prices by 10-20% and blame it on this 3% tax. Fucking love the idea of this. 

      Also, you wanna leave Oregon? OK, you can pay a tax to relocate your assets to, let’s say Texas, who is cool AF with with have and have not with no economic mobility workd

      Corporations don’t pay taxes (they just get passed along to customers) so this is literally voting money out of your neighbor’s wallet into yours. 🤦‍♂️

      Awesome. The experiments shall begin. Corporations will start to fund us instead of consuming us.

      It’s a fucked up world where there are people who raise money to prevent people from getting money.

      Better to regulate the cost of basic essential goods & services.

      Alaska pays its residents. Google says it comes from oil and mining revenue.

      UBI attempts are always so half baked. For this to work at all, it would need to be $1000 per month, guaranteed for at least several years. Also, instead of increasing food stamps, stabilizing rents, increasing job training, subsidizing childcare, making healthcare more accessible and affordable, you want to give everyone $1600 a year to do what they want with it? People aren’t going to spend this in any way that really helps them as much as the previous services would.

      The irony is that those very same companies will get the back from the people who got it and lots more as the state economy grows a little bit more.
