The same thing everyone else gets. Education, health care, and public safety. And I must agree, if you've got 20% losses on $1 mil of sales, you're already bleeding so much this tax won't make any difference. It won't be the thing that tips you into Chapter 11, but you might be well on your way anyway. What are businesses getting for this?

I pay almost $5000 a year to the state of Oregon and I work retail, rent a house and live paycheck to paycheck most of the time. I am more than happy to pay my share knowing that it's taxes that keep our state in business. It's time to pay up. And furthermore, if you have over a million dollars in sales are still aren't profitable, you need to find a new line of work. Cry me a river.

But goodness! Raise the corporate tax from $10, and everyone goes ape****. Gotta love "conservatives" so paranoid of government controlling them that they ignore the fact that business already control us, and with much less oversight than an elected government. Love it.

Just because a corporation has sales doesn't mean it is profitable. So a corporation can have slightly over $1 million in sales, have a loss of $200,000 and still have to pay the $5,000 minimum tax. The tax also penalizes corporations that have high volume sales, but operate on a thin profit margin. Think about it. Just because a corporation has sales doesn’t mean it is profitable.

Well, maybe there is a reason for that. Did anyone think about that? That is suppossing that no other tax has been raised on our local stores for the past 90 years. Let us get real here.
