update Calagator::Event 1250463034 Tax and Conversation weekly civics meetings Roll back

description There are some cultural myths around income tax. We'll talk through frequent questions, and see whether the fact-based answers are relevant. We'll start by choosing the 3-5 most relevant questions to us in view of a constitutional amendment for Oregon in 2014 on income tax reform. Some questions include: "Why government?" "What about rich people?" "Doesn't the tax law need to be nuanced to incentivize people to work?" "Is this income tax reform political?" "How do we know we can we trust the tax reform to be good for everyone in Oregon?" (These are all real questions I've been asked which touch on core issues where the answer is not obvious.) What would you like to learn? What are you concerned or excited about? Areas for questions will include tax, membership, and/or this organization (at least one of each). Agenda 6-7pm Tues Nov 13: 1. Intro who we are, what we're working on. 2. Choose three or five questions, talk through, share perspectives, learn. 3. Review what did we like, what can be better next time. RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/366214123469511/ “By simplifying income tax laws for people to have more equal lives, everyone will be more comfortable, able to live more humanly.” Alex Linsker [email protected] (503) 369-9174 Twitter: @alexlinsker Facebook: http://facebook.com/taxandconversation Twitter: http://twitter.com/taxconversation taxandconversation.com There are some cultural myths around income tax.
