I was reading the news for Roseburg and I saw this,

regarding if it was time for a sale tax in Oregon. The sad part is if they can get it to pass in the Portland, Salem, and Eugene area, it will pass for the whole state. But they are saying they will not charge sales tax on food, prescriptions , or utilities . It would also cut capital gains tax and the corporate tax. It also calls for cutting property tax (those that rent would get a rebate not sure how that would work) and income tax in half.
Is it a good idea? Would you vote for it? Do you see it as more of a fair tax meaning that everyone has to pay it?
