For more than ten years, the Oregon government has waged an all-out assault
against Oregon businesses, and we experience the consequences every day.
Government spending has increased by double digits every budget cycle for the past decade. Who has had to pay the bill for this increased spending? Small businesses.
Oregon suffers from highest-in-the-nation unemployment levels. Despite billions of dollars of government spending, unemployment remains at record levels.
State government has demanded that Oregon families and businesses make up the difference between tax receipts and out-of-control spending. Last session, a single day brought over $1 billion in new taxes and fees.
Oregon small businesses are strangled by red tape and bureaucracy. Each year, the government invents new regulations to make running a successful business more expensive and difficult.
