So Oregon has Tax LOOP HOLES That GREATLY benefit Large Corps. like Nike . So , we hear from the left that they want everyone to pay their FAIR SHARE ! So why is the Gov. trying so hard to give Nike these big breaks ? That would mean that they are NOT paying their fair share and someone else will have to pick up the slack ! Hypocrites !!!!!
