Taxpayer Defense Project A group in Coos Bay stood outside a Walmart all day on Saturday holding VOTE NO ON JOB KILLING TAXES signs. Great job guys!! This is a great way to get the word out that Measures 66 and 67 would cost Oregon tens of thousands of jobs. We're not trying to help big corporations get away with anything, we're trying to p...rotect jobs, small businesses, and middle class families!

Taxpayer Defense Project Slightly humorous but true opinion piece in the Democrat Herald about the job-killing effects of Measure 67.

Don’t let the Oregon ballot measures 66 and 67 fool you. While the supporters of these measures make it sound like the golden parachute of the self employed S-corporation, and the big-business corporations will rain money on our state, you may get the boot for helping pass them.

Taxpayer Defense Project Have you taken advantage of your Political Tax Credit yet? Up to $100
of your state taxes ($50 for single filers) can be used the way YOU
choose. You can donate up to $100 for joint tax filers or $50 for
single filers to a political organization, and that amount will be
credited back to you on tax day, dollar for dollar....

This is money that you either give to a qualified political
organization or pay in taxes. The deadline to use the Political Tax
Credit is December 31, 2009. If you don’t use it by then, the
government simply keeps that money in the form of taxes.

Taxpayer Defense Project Read this great article on how Measures 66 and 67 really would harm farmers!

"Farming and ranching is a high-volume/low-margin business. This means
our gross sales are larger than other businesses'," meaning even if
farmers don't make a profit, they may have to pay up to $100,000.00 in
taxes, since the new system would t...ax money-losing businesses based on
their sales!
