To escape com m ent or criticism , do nothing, be nothing, say nothing. Oregon's "Soak the Rich" Plan Saturates the General Public O regon’s “soak the rich” income tax policy was proved a fallacy this week w hen new state income tax deduction tables w ere distributed to employers. Gobbledy-gook flowing from the m ouths of politicians during the last session of the Oregon legislature would have had us believe w age-earners would be saved from excessive taxation by repeal of the surtax, by providing more state funds for schools and by the ever-present de sire to make life beautiful for “the common m an.” The results of the politicians’ efforts are coming to light! G ate City Journal personnel are an excellent exam ple of w age-earners in Oregon insofar as variations in sal a r ie s , differences in beneficiaries and property ow ner ships are concerned. Five full-tim e w age-earners w ill pay the S tate of Oregon approxim ately 75 percent m ore income taxes under the new law than they did on the old schedule in cluding the often condemned surtax and ex tra paym ents at the end of the year. Largest increase was for a single person whose new “contribution will be m ore than double his form er state tax. A nother employee w ith four dependents will pay 20 percent m ore th an he did under the old incom e-surtax formula. One employee, who owns his own home, w ill save about $9 property tax as the result of the Nyssa school district’s “gift” of some $42,000 from the state, bu t in turn must pay about $25 more in state income taxes. It seems that the only w ay to get tax relief in Oregon is to have seven children, deed your property to a non resident cousin, go on relief and tu rn down all offers for em ploym ent or business ow nership.
