That'll raise my costs. Thanks dude... really appreciate it. :( That makes me sad and ashamed.

Social equality is not equal to an inalienable right. It is also not equal to a right. To think or to attempt to perpetuate that it is would be and is a perversion of simple and direct logic. To tell people who don't think these things thru, and think they deserve whatever neighbor #2 has even though they produce less at the expense of neighbor #2 two is horribly wrong.

It is a sad and deplorable act to say every family is the same and by thus association that we are all the same. We are not and no amount of petty legislation and law will ever make us the same.

The above actions to force everyone into a similar state of affairs regardless of whether they do their fair part to earn it is deplorable and offensive.

I am ashamed and offended by such a socialistic thought, and fear the other such future forced situations that will only increase my cost of living, taxes, and other such things.

I love Portland and I love living here, but I can only take so much of this before I (and I assure you many others) will be forced to leave.

When you don't have the jobs or the payrolls to cover these costs, then what will you do?
