It's such an amazing feeling. To have the leader of your country be your age, proud, bright, well-spoken, and a good father.
It's been a long time, America.
a chance to fix oregon's broken tax code
08:24 PM
Seventy percent of Oregon's corporations pay the legal minimum, $10 a year, in income taxes.
The minimum has not changed since it was established in 1931. Yes, 1931.

It's the right thing to do.
