Letter to the editor: M97 brings fairness

  • Updated

To the editor: Driving by The Dalles Chamber of Commerce, I notice a big “NO ON 97” sign. Measure 97 would force corporations to pay 2.5 percent of gross sales over $25 million. From the 1940’s to the 80’s the corporate tax rate was 70-90 percent. Since the 80’s it’s been around 30 percent. We had a middle class during those higher tax rate days and since the 80’s our middle class has been steadily shrinking.
