A very small percentage of population calls the shots because they are rich. They pay less taxes, so we pay more. They give as much as they want to their "candidates" and we, the underclasses give comparatively, next to nothing. They get their way. Oregon is a free for certain corporations like Texas is. I just saw my first "karen Minnis has done so much for us" ad. If you want to know more go to fairelections.net.

IG POLITICAL SPENDERS GET WHAT THEY WANT FROM OREGON GOVERNMENT.
Corporations have gone from paying 18% of state income taxes in 1975 to 4% now.
Enron/Portland General Electric gave over $500,000 to candidate campaigns, got a $400 million annual rate increase, and since 1997 has charged Oregon ratepayers over $800 million for "income taxes" it never paid.
Video Poker outlets get an extra $85 million per year over the reasonable level of commissions paid elsewhere. Why? The Oregon Restaurant Association has contributed over $1,200,000 to Oregon politicians in the past 5 years.
Drug companies defeated bills that would allow the State to negotiate lower prices for drugs. They could do that, thanks to the $3 million contributed by drug and medical equipment companies in the past 3 election cycles.
