Oregon's trying to pull itself part way out of its big financial hole with Ballot Measures 66 and 67, which marginally increase taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations. As I write we're about 24 hours away from knowing whether or not Oregonians will buy in.
So many feelings and issues have been stirred by this campaign. One of them -- deep anger and resentment at banks, credit card companies and Wall Street -- has been strategically mined by those who want these measures passed. That happens to be my side in this fight, but the cost of this button-pushing ad strategy gives me pause. After an earlier column complaining about this "Yes" campaign spot
I heard from some folks who wanted to throw up after reading my "Can't We All Get Along?" plea. I know exactly what they're talking about. I feel the nausea. But believing they missed the point, I took another swing with this column.
If this stirs a reactions, I'd like to hear it at www.immensepossibilities.blogspot.com
