lol at Oregon.. i like the last line of the article:
If Salem officials want to find where the millionaires went, they might start the search in Texas, the state that leads the nation in job creation—and has a top income and capital gains tax rate 11 percentage points lower than Oregon’s

Never!
Oregon is not friendly to business.
To top it off Taxlover,err i mean Kitzhauber was re-elected as gov.
He was a dismal failure the first time he served.

No, of course not. They will try to erect a barricade preventing people from moving out of state. Which will, of course, have its own consequences.
