Oregon does not have a sales tax but does have property tax (taxes based
on land and homes) and income tax (taxes based on earnings from working).
Washington does not have income tax.
Some people in Oregon believe the state should adopt a sales tax. One reason for
this is that the state could raise money from people not living in the state as well
as those living in the state.
Others believe the income tax is enough. One reason they give is that a sales tax is a regressive tax,
which means it unfairly burdens people in the lower income brackets.
