Freedom: Being able to build, buy and drive planet-killing vehicles.

By this definition, corporations should just be able to dump toxic waste wherever they want. True freedom is not about egotistical self-gratification, consideration must be given to care of the commons, too. The commons includes the air, water, public lands and public infrastructure (roads, water and sewer systems, etc.) we all share. The frontier is closed and the American Cowboy is just a myth perpetuated by Hollywood. Get over it.

Oregon's got no sales tax but does have a hefty income tax. I'd personally prefer it the other way around. Washington used to have much higher vehicle registration fees, but they were voted out during the tax revolts of the 80s and 90s. The condition of their roads is starting to show it.
