Got my first spam from the no on 118 campaign. I'm going to see how much I can harass them, calling them ghouls and failures as human beings.

118 is a tax on corporation profits that is distributed to permanent Oregon residents, much like Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend. Currently targeting $1600 a year rebate.

Vote Yes! on Measure 118, the Oregon Rebate

Vote Yes! on Measure 118 to get yearly rebates of $1,600 for yourself and every Oregonian, kids included. A four person household will get over $6,400 every year. Paid for by making giant corporations pay their fair share.

Voters will soon decide the fate of a measure that attempts to reduce poverty through direct payments, paid for by taxing less than 2% of businesses operating in the state.

The strongest argument against Oregon's wealth-redistribution measure 118 is that it will hurt low-margin businesses. Here's their counterargument:
