The US has one of the most progressive tax schemes ever devised in human history.
The top 1% pay for 46% of ALL taxes collected.
The bottom 50% pay only 2%.
When socialists complain about our tax system, they are either stupid, lying, or both.
Oregon public school proficiency decline from 2018-2024…
Beaverton- Math 53%⬇️36%
Portland- Math 48%⬇️41%
Eugene- Math 48%⬇️34%
Salem-Keizer- Math 35%⬇️21%
Tigard-Tualatin- Math 46%⬇️29%
Enrollment down 35,000-40,000+.
Oregon public schools are awful and so why are graduation rates so high?!
Graduation requirements have been suspended in Oregon… The OEA union labeled standardized tests like Oregon’s Statewide Summative Assessment as “instruments of racism and a biased system.”
Don’t like Kotek fool you… Democrats in Oregon have completely failed these children.
This is the exact moment the Democrats knew they needed to import new voters and bribe them with government handouts for their support if they were to ever regain power.
Unfortunately it worked.
Isn’t it weird how unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?
Oh well. Probably nothing.
Tina Kotek's decision to opt Oregon out of the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit slammed the door on an opportunity that could have helped thousands of Oregon families give their children a better education. The program would have unlocked potentially millions of dollars in privately funded scholarships to help Oregon families pay for educational opportunities without costing taxpayers a single cent.
At a time when Oregon ranks near the bottom nationally in education outcomes, rejecting additional resources for our kids is indefensible. That's exactly what's wrong with Tina Kotek's leadership: time and again, ideology comes before Oregon families.
Oregon students deserve better. As governor, I won't let partisan politics stand in the way of giving every child the tools they need to succeed.

Americans work 40+ years…
Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.
Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.
Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.
Read that again.
The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.
This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.
Who comes first?
The taxpayer… or the system?
Hi @RonWyden I just saw @SecScottBessent absolutely eviscerate you after you called him a "kapo".
I went back to the "Epstein files" to verify what Mr. Bessent said.
Is it your son in these email between, and in respect of Jeffrey Epstein?
Did your son write to Epstein "I intensely appreciate like minded individuals and would very much look forward yo having you join us at the fund"?
Please confirm.
