Oswald West's legacy of public ownership of the state's beaches, and the first statewide land-use planning system, which introduced the urban growth boundary around the state's cities. These achievements have done much to create McCall's enormous legacy in the state.[10]" (from Wikepedia) McCall was elected in 1966 and re-elected in 1970. He was a Republican, a moderate Republican and a noted champion of environmental causes. To call the era of his Governorship "conservative" is simply silly.
Many of the policies which make Oregon "great" today reflect the political decisions and actions of the McCall era. They are among the very things today's "conservative" Oregonians oppose.....Gary Crum | 4 | Cleanup: We have a "federal" system of government.....with national, state, county and city governments. Indeed, the GOP now controls the Executive and legislative branches of our "national" government. However, the last time I checked Oregon was still a rather liberal state with the executive branch, both Houses of the legislature and most local governments controlled by liberal office holders. We could debate rather endlessly the many factors which make Oregon great or not-so-great. Clearly, we see politics and social/economic issues very differently. That's fine.....that's why we have a lively democracy.
BTW" Pleas don't call Tom McCall a conservative. The early 70s in Oregon were marked by his terms as Governor and the political climate of the State reflected his leadership.

I do not understand your post and I do not understand the point or accusation you are trying to make.
My impression is trolls are like the badly-behaved classmates we remember from junior high school, they like to stir things up and aggravate people, they do not actually care about or analyze the subjects at hand, they simply want to hurl whatever form of verbal spit-ball it will take to induce shock or appalled outrage by an audience, and it does not matter if the audience is retired cops or Scottish knitters or red-haired dog-walkers.
In contrast, there are people in society who harbor racist hate and they fester and boil in their juices, lashing out with slurs against those who they hate, all over a difference in skin colour or spoken accent or whatever, targeting only those "others" with pejorative attacks.
I mean, we are talking about definitions: I do not consider it "trolling" when that SECOND group posts demands of deportations for those they hate! | 5 | Rob, RE: "Trolls are people who make insincere comments with the goal of provoking a reaction."
That's a nice benign definition. Sort of like saying racists are people who dislike anyone who doesn't share their values.
Unfortunately there are degrees of trolling. A good example is the people who went after Rehtaeh Parsons.

They often mentioned that the only money they spent in Alaska was a drink or two at the airport while waiting for their flight home. A income tax would give these folks some incentive to work in there own state. If half of them would do so and Alaskans filled their spots, what would the economic impact be on Alaska? Quite positive I believe...
I say institute a fairly high income tax. Combine this with a substantial tax deduction if you have received a PFD distribution. This would give Alaskans a moderate income tax and give the out of staters even more incentive to either move here and become productive residents or seek work elsewhere. | 4 | A 2015 report by the Alaska Department of Labor indicates there were 90,267 nonresidents working in Alaska. Those nonresident held 23% of all employment and made 16% of all wages paid in Alaska, $.2.7 Billion. [Nonresidents Working in Alaska: 2015.]http://live.laborstats.alaska.gov/reshire/nonres.pdf
A resident would end up paying sales tax on everything they need to support themselves and their family. Meanwhile a nonresident working on the slope and living in a camp will spend in Alaska a very minimal amount. The same would be true for nonresidents working in the seafood industry as they live in company housing and eat company provided meals. Most of what nonresidents make will leave the state as they go home with their paychecks and spent their money in their home state.
There is simply no truth in the claims that a state sales tax would affect equally the wages of residents and nonresidents when you face the fact of where those two groups spend their incomes. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45426626, 45536973, 45494674, 45485526, 45505902] |

The morality lies in whether the object of that willing is subject to a moral judgement (blindness is not but blinding someone is). | 4 | Let's start here: "Inductive reasoning, from facts to theories..." No. Inductive reasoning does not begin with facts and argue to a theory, but with observations and the attempt to create diagnostic evidence from those that provide support for certain hypotheses (probable conclusions). The conclusion follows from the initial argument's premises and supporting evidence but, always, with greater or lesser likelihood; inductive reasoning is, definitionally, uncertain.
At its most basic, NL is "Do good, avoid evil." But "evil" has the broader philosophic definition of something that is against its nature. Blindness is a physical "evil" in that it is against the nature of the eye (and related systems). So NL is not premised, as some erroneously suppose, to be based on observations in the natural world and extract a moral conclusion from that, but upon the nature of an object itself and how that nature is actualized. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45426626, 45456658, 45385682, 45541171, 45630512] |

I found a fallacy/vulnerability in your argument – a fault. And likewise, to present a qualifier “If_you_don’t_have_even…”, doesn’t make it either. Your presupposing evolutionary biology and all of it’s constructs are full/fitting points on the subset of all species. You therefore would present the case for rape. And that is fallacious/condemnable. That’s all you granted to me with your argument. You do not believe in justice/morality, but pure science as the determinate factor.

You just need to look at the history of tax cuts which started with Bush just after Clinton increased taxes and got the highest job growth in history, reduced the deficit, and after the those cuts continued and extended by Obama, we have never gotten the economic growth that Clinton got. One of Reagan's former economic advisers and a conservative wrote a famous book about this and the damage that Bush's tax cuts did because they did not match the environment in which Reagan's cuts were made. Today he advises strongly against tax cuts and he and some other advisers like David Stockman advise tax increases on the rich who have benefitted immensely from years of tax cuts without adding to economic growth and investment. | 4 | Zero correlation between deficits/debt and interest rates, dollar, GDP yada yada.
