text: Roscoe - your comment reminded me of this quote from Alexis De Tocqueville - 
  
  "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy."
  
  Democrats are the majority in Oregon and most public employees are Democrats.  In 2010, M66 (tax on evil Corporations)  & M67 (Tax on the evil rich)  were advertised as the cure all for public funding.  Now they want more.  It has to STOP.  Oregon has a spending problem called "PERS", not a revenue problem.
