Warren Peterson at the Clown Car makes some predictions:
By a 54% “yes” vote, Oregon voters approved one measure to raise taxes on the wealthy (defined as income of $125,000 for singles, $250,000 for couples) and another to increase business taxes.
Predictions:
1. Oregon’s unemployment rate will increase
2. Oregon will have a net outflow of businesses
3. Oregon will have a net outflow of “wealthy” people
4. The income from the tax increases will fall short of projections
5. The tax cancer will spread to other Democrat led states
If he’s lucky, 3 out of those 5 will be true (#4 is always a good possibility). We’ll have to check back on this one in a year from now.
