Let ‘Em Leave
Corporations: Quit complaining and pay your taxes.

During the debate over PERS reform and SB 1049 during the 2019 session, Senator James Manning, Jr. (D-Eugene) shares his true feelings about corporations who complain about having their taxes raised.


Like many Democrats, Manning seems oblivious to the fact that it is the people who produce wealth -- corporations, for the most part -- are footing the bill for his welfare state. Earlier, in the same speech, Senator Manning speaks about how he supports free education through college for every student in Oregon. He doesn't propose a mechanism to pay for it.

It's no wonder that we have a hard time digging ourselves out of a massive unfunded PERS liability under the leadership of those like Senator James Manning.
