[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1947347, member: 1132"] So let me see if I get this correct. Oklahoma wants the ability to tax non-existent things that aren't really taxed much if at all up to now. Yet if we don't give them this ability, our property taxes will be raised? Each business currently gets taxed $25 each, so how much would that raise the much greater number of property taxes each year, $5? Should I also be scared of the boogie man and Sasquatch? :rolleyes2 So if I get this straight and 766 passes, public service companies will get a $50M tax relief. Am I to assume that they will concurrently lower their service rates? Yeah, I'll hold my breath while waiting for that to happen. :disappoin Care to list some of the "big business" companies besides public service companies that currently pay a substantial amount of these taxes? I thought all you liberals believe that "big business" avoids these types of taxes by offshoring? Now you're saying that they don't even bother to register in states that don't levy this type of tax? Which is it? If SQ 766 doesn't pass, I see a brand new market for out of state registration of intangible corporate assets. I may have to register a business (in another state of course) for just such a purpose! :) And you have proof that all 77 counties would apply this equally and not increase the rates down the road? Riiiight... So final question. Will you vote yes for prohibiting a lopsided, unequally applied tax that's easily avoidable by "offshoring", or will you vote no so that business owners of all sizes will disproportionately pay for services that you utilize on a daily basis?
