			<description><![CDATA[The low hanging fruit which Socialists Like David Wu overlook because he has never had a successful private sector business, and or any "Brick and Mortar", is the "Death Tax". I find this very amusing. There are copious Americans of Asian heritage that come to the United States for a better life. Asians from Korea, Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia etc. come to the U.S. and actively engage in starting a business. Using the "Extended family" as a base, they work together to create that small business. Everyone pitches in. Sons and daughters, aunts and uncles work together to build a future for themselves. Then people like David Wu and his communist leanings simply pass legislation to take it away. When papa wants to retire and have his sons inherit the business, David Wu expects you to pay him 55 percent. When you sell that house that you worked 30 years to pay for and fix up David Wu wants 28 percent. When you want to sell that NIKE stock so you can buy that new diesel delivery van that gets 27 MPG, David Wu and big Oregon government want 42 percent right off the top. David Wu does not care about the private sector, all he cares about is spending borrowed money, his cush job, his cush health care, and his big cush government beliefs. While he is able to afford sending his children to the best schools, and the best colleges, we have to foot the bill by his taking from our family business. While our sons and daughters have to struggle to keep the doors open because David Wu took 55 percent of our life's work , he is sending his children to prep school. Then when the business is going well, David Wu will tax you for health care and give your wealth to some other family. David Wu's policies attack the family, and they attack the extended family.They attack your family, take from your children and then borrow from their futures. He feels his children deserve a better education than the people who pay the bills. I will seek to end the "Death Tax" so that hardworking family can keep what they worked for. I will seek an end to residential capital gains taxation. I will seek to let "the people who earned it spend it" http://www.BrodheadForCongress.com]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[David Wu stating that the "New Deal" was too small proves that David Wu is both fiscally challenged and a communist! Had he looked at my platform, he would have gotten several ideas on both cutting federal government spending,creati ng jobs, and cutting taxation! Instead we get fiscal impotence! here is a list of ideas that Mr. Wu might consider since all he know how to do in regards to job creation is borrowing money for earmarks and using taxpayer money to make himself look good! 1. Turn Congressional district into a corporate tax free zone for 5 years 2. Robustly recruit "new energy" business I:E: Lythium-ION batery technology (Johnson Controls) for the emerging hybrid car market 3. Revamp the entire air traffic control grid with new computers and new GPS and radar supported "Moving Map and terrain avoidance display" Provide Intel tax credits and a 5 year tax free zone 4. Replace all F-15 fighters in the Oregon ANG with the new F35 joint strike fighter. 5. Convert the old reserve base adjacent to Portland international Airport into a federal Jet engine replacement center, and re-engine the entire military fleet with "New fuel savings technology" provide money for the updating of hangers and a Tax free zone. 6. Ask Boeing to consider Portland for future aircraft contracts I:E a composite based KC-787 tanker or blended wing technology 7. a Robust advertising campaign in Europe for "vacationing in Oregon" with give aways etc. 8. Technology related to Nanotechnology and total body armor systems 9. Tax free zone for the manufacturing of the a new generation Humvee and related armor kits 10. Expansion of commuter rail that is somewhat like the Baltimore/DC area While David Wu sat on his thumbs, Beoing decided to build the Dreamliner in South Carolina. So, now they have to fly the fuselage 3 thousand miles at 125,000 pounds of fuel each way. We could have used several locations in CD1 like Columbia county or Yamhill for a facillity. Columbia county could have simply barged the 787 sections to Everette,at pennies on the dollar, and severely reduced logistics costs. The job multiplier effect would have been incredible. Instead, Oregon decides to tax big business and simply turn a blind eye to manufacturing opportunites. David Wu only understands how to get money of late from earmarks on borrowed money from an unbalanced congress hell bent on socialism. He does not have the capacity to think out of the box, and only has the fortitude to go along with the democratic Socialist crowd. He is not a leader, visionairy or entreprenuer, he is a follower and folks that is it. My family has always thought big from Valley Forge to the Transcontinenta l Railroad, and from Bunker Hill to Baghdad Http://www.brodheadForCongress.com]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Jobs are not easily solved. First we must support our small businesses. Lower TAXES, cut programs that do not help the widows and orphans. Gov. PORK is not the answer. Nike could start a manufacturing plant, We could log our forests, many bi-products come from wood and fiber. Help small communities start creating products of need. Anything that is used repeatidly is in demand. Educate through training schools. All of these ideas only build other ideas and soon work is generated that needs people to fulfill the need. What can you think of that has demand and can be provided by local labor other than service jobs? Last of all cut government, review all programs and cut all of them by 10%. Afterall business has had to.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The experts in Oregon (all seem to be public or semi-public employees) all say the same thing 'it isn't the taxes or regulation or liberal social policies AND we all want more public money for all of our ideal projects that can't make any money on their own. The 'green' revolution wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for public money because none of the ideas can pay for themselves. On a survey ranking states by tax and regulatory requirements, Oregon was 34th out of 50. In case nobody notices, 34 is rather far down the list. I have hopes my business has a good run-up in sales next year, if it does that will also be the last year I will be in Oregon. I love the place physically and the people are intelligent and friendly, but every small town in America offers a good life style and I am in the process of finding my next location.]]></description>

			<title>Taxes are the answer</title>

			<description><![CDATA[When anyone goes into business and hits it big or even small, Oregon's income tax takes an unfair bite out of the income. The answer for the businessman is to move to a more fair state --Washington or Nevada--states without an income tax. Sooner or later, the jobs follow. Oregon, with a labor dominated government, is a liberals dream, and that has to change before we will see normal employment levels and taxation that is fair to everyone. Even a liberal, at some point, has to get off the couch and get a job and that means leaving Oregon.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I thought one of Ayre's more compelling points was the impact California has as Oregon's biggest trade partner. He also cited Washington as one of the perpetually unemployed states. Maybe this is a regional problem and that's why scrutinizing Oregon's historical data hasn't produced sensible answers.]]></description>
