Reply #11: Wife and I are voting no....

[Danieljay]

Wife and I are an S-Corp.. so we'd pay $150 a year plus an additional $50 filing fee. Doesn't sound like much? Why should my wife and I, who make a combined income of 90,000 (Gross)and VERY little corporat profit have to pay a penny more than anyone else simply because we file as an S-Corp?

Our small business can barely afford 1 staff and a part time accountant. Most of our clients make more than we do, take trips to Hawaii, Live in nicer homes than we, buy big screen televisions and drink $5 lattes twice a day and they dont have to pay a dime more?

We are taxed to the max, have to pay workers comp insurance, portland business tax, trimet tax, match payroll taxes.. its ridiculous. Everyone should pay their fair share. NOT just Corporations and businesses. Re-write the measure and increase EVERYONE's contribution AND make the big corporations pay their fair share.

I know this isn't a popular opinion here.. but after writing 4 checks to the state today totalling over 2,000 dollars for taxes, fees, etc.. i'm effing sick of taking up the slack.
